Gridiron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, black, metal object titled "Gridiron" by an unknown artist. The object is made of thin, parallel metal bars that are connected by a frame. The bars are spaced evenly apart and run horizontally across the object. The frame has four legs, two at the front and two at the back, and a long handle extending from the front left side. The handle is thin and curved at the end. The object is positioned at an angle, with the front left side lower than the back right side. The background is plain white. The object appears to be some type of cooking grill or grate. It has a simple and minimalist design. The metal is dark and appears to have some texture or rust.
