Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of two metal hinges. Both hinges have a textured surface and are shaped like snakes. The snakes have rivets along their bodies and appear to have three heads with sharp points. The heads on the bottom and top face outwards, and the middle head faces inwards. The body of the hinge snakes around to form another loop. Two straight metal pieces protrude from the centre of each hinge. One protrusion is long and pointed with a slight bend, while the other is short and conical. The background is light grey. Title: Hinge. Artist: Unspecified.
