Curtain Knob

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Curtain Knob by an unknown artist. Two round metal curtain knobs side by side with a thin metal rod extending from the back of each. The knobs are made of dark metal, likely bronze or iron, and have a raised design of an eagle standing on a bundle of arrows and an olive branch. The eagles are facing to the right on both knobs. The background is white with shadows cast by the knobs.
