Curtain Knob

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two round metal objects, titled "Curtain Knob" by an unknown artist. The objects are side by side on a white background. Both are circular with a raised design. The designs feature a bird with wings spread, standing on a branch or twigs. The birds have their beaks open and appear to be eagles. The metal is dark with visible texture and wear. A thin metal rod protrudes from the back of each object. The objects are positioned at an angle, with one facing left and the other right. The background is white with subtle shadows under each object.
