Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two metal hinges, one above the other. Both are made of dark, weathered metal with a rough texture. Each hinge has a central joint and two curved arms that extend outward. The top hinge is positioned with its arms pointing up and outward, while the bottom hinge's arms point down and outward. Each arm has two holes for screws. The background is a plain gray surface. The title of the image is "Hinge" by artist unknown.
