Curtain Pole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The curtain pole by an unknown artist shows three curtain poles lying side by side on a flat surface. The curtain poles have a spherical decoration on one end and a tapered decoration on the other. They are made of metal and have a cylindrical shape. There are 5 rings on the two top curtain poles and none on the bottom one. The rings are attached to the poles and are spaced equally apart. The background of the image is white. The image is in black and white. There is small, illegible text in the bottom right corner.
