Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of two metal hinges. The hinges are identical and symmetrical. Each hinge is composed of a vertical stack of parts. The top part of each hinge has two curved horns with a heart-shaped cutout between them. Below that are two wide prongs with a heart-shaped cutout between them. The prongs have a rounded triangular shape tapering to a point. The bottom part of each hinge has a short rectangular base with two holes. The base widens into two triangular prongs with rounded edges. The metal appears old, with visible spots of wear and discoloration. The background is plain gray. The artist and title are: Hinge.
