Fragment

Stiegel's Manheim Factory

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of five fragments of glass or stone. The fragments are arranged in two rows, with two on the bottom and three on top. The top row contains a small, cylindrical object on the left with a diamond-shaped pattern. To its right is a large, irregularly shaped fragment with a rough texture and a depression in the center. The bottom row contains a large, irregularly shaped fragment on the left with a rough texture and a protrusion in the center. In the center is a smaller, irregularly shaped fragment with a rough texture and dark coloration. On the right is a smaller, rectangular fragment with a rough texture. There are two small labels at the bottom of the image, but the text is too small to read. The background of the image is a light-colored surface, possibly a table or shelf. The photograph has a white border around it and is set against a black background. The image appears to be a document titled "Fragment by Stiegel's Manheim Factory".
