Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two identical metal pieces connected by a hinge. The pieces are made of metal, with a dark gray color and visible signs of wear and tear. Each piece consists of two circular parts connected by a short stem. The circular parts have four holes each, arranged in a square pattern. The holes are small and circular. The metal pieces are positioned one above the other, with the hinges facing inward. The background is a plain gray surface, with a subtle gradient effect that darkens towards the top-right corner. The title of the image is "Hinge" by an unnamed artist.
