Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two metal hinges. The hinges are made of dark gray metal, with a rough texture and visible signs of wear. Each hinge consists of a rectangular piece with holes for screws and two curved pieces that resemble hooks. The curved pieces are positioned on either side of the rectangular piece and are also perforated with holes. The hinges are positioned vertically, one above the other, against a plain gray background. The top hinge is oriented with the curved pieces pointing up and to the right; the bottom hinge is oriented with the curved pieces pointing down and to the right. The artist of the image is unknown but the title is "Hinge".
