Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two old, rusty metal hinges side by side, each having a central cylindrical part connecting two flat plates with holes for screws; each plate has a curved protrusion at top and bottom. The top protrusions are similar in shape, curving up with a small decorative curl at the end. The bottom protrusions are mirror images of each other, curving down then up into a small decorative curl. The hinges are on a light gray background. Hinge by artist not specified.
