Gun Hook
The image shows two identical black metal objects with a rounded handle and a screw at the end. The objects are placed side by side, with the screws pointing to the left. Each object has a curved handle with a rounded end and a screw protruding from the other end. The screws have a coarse thread and a pointed tip. The handles have a rough texture and appear to be made of a dark metal, possibly iron or steel. The objects are labeled with white text on the handle: "55.105.2" on the left object and "55.105.3" on the right object. There are also two small labels on the bottom of the image, one with a ruler and one with text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1955". The background of the image is white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a museum exhibit. The title of the image is "Gun Hook" by an unknown artist.
