Knocker

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal door knocker in a dark finish, possibly bronze or brass. The knocker is shaped like an elongated vase. It features a long, narrow base that tapers to a point at the bottom, a wider middle section with curved sides and flat top and bottom edges. The top section has a series of stacked, rounded shapes. The background is grey with a shadow to the left. The piece appears to be titled "Knocker".
