The image shows a round curtain knob titled "Curtain Knob" by an unknown artist. The knob is made of metal and features a floral design. It has a screw protruding from its side. The knob is positioned at an angle, with the screw pointing to the left. The background is gray, and the knob casts a shadow on the surface below it. The knob's surface is decorated with a raised pattern of flowers and leaves. The screw has a rounded head. The overall appearance of the knob suggests it is made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or brass. The image is in black and white.
