Curtain Knob

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of three decorative curtain knobs by artist Curtain Knob. Three flower-shaped objects sit on a surface. The two on the left and right are identical and larger than the center one. Each object has a round base that resembles the petals of a flower. The base of each object has a ruffled edge. The petals are teardrop-shaped with the pointed end toward the center. The centers of the flowers have a small round object. The background is a flat surface with a slightly darker area behind the objects. The surface and background are smooth. Shadows are under each object.
