Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two metal hinges with a weathered, gray finish. Each hinge consists of a flat, rectangular piece with a curved end and a circular hole at the other. The curved ends are shaped like a hook with the bottom part resembling a claw. The rectangular pieces have two small circular holes. The hinges are symmetrical with a heart shaped cutout and are positioned one on top of the other. The background is a plain gray color. The title of the image is "Hinge" and the artist is unknown.
