Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two metal hinges. The hinges are made of dark metal with a textured surface, possibly from oxidation. They are shaped like a curved, wavy line with pointed ends resembling talons or claws. Each hinge has a protruding cylindrical part at the base. The hinges are symmetrical and appear to be mirror images of each other. The background is a plain gray color. The title of the image is "Hinge" by an unnamed artist.
