Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a hinge by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Two identical metal hinges side by side, each made from one piece of metal folded over. The hinges are made of dark metal with a textured appearance. They are composed of two symmetrical parts that are connected by a pin through the middle. Each part has two curved ends with decorative shapes at the top. The decorative shapes on top are roughly the shape of a figure 3. Each part has one large hole for a screw near the curved end and two near the pin. There is a ruler at the bottom to show scale. The background is white with creases. The image displays a label underneath reading "The Metropolitan Museum of Art".
