Fragment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a curved, dark grey object with lighter and darker spots. The object titled "Fragment" by an unnamed artist, resembles a knife blade or similar tool, oriented horizontally across the center of the frame. The object's left end appears blunt and thicker than the right end. The right end tapers to a point and features a serrated edge. The object has a smooth surface with visible wear and tear. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
