Door Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photo of a door hinge titled "Door Hinge" by an unknown artist. The hinge is made of metal and has a long, thin rectangular body with rounded edges. The hinge has two curved ends, one on the left and one on the right, both curled into a spiral shape. The left spiral is smaller and thicker at the end. There are three small holes on the left side of the hinge body and one on the right side. A small rectangular piece connects the two sides of the hinge in the middle. The background of the image is light gray, with a black border around the edges. There are some handwritten numbers in white ink at the bottom of the image.
