Keg

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a metal keg by artist unknown titled "Keg". The keg is cylindrical with a handle on top and a knob. It appears to be made of metal, possibly iron or steel, and has a dark color with visible signs of wear and tear. The keg has several horizontal bands or hoops around its body, which are likely used for reinforcement. The surface of the keg is rough and textured, with some areas appearing more worn than others. The background of the image is a plain white surface, which helps to highlight the details of the keg.
