Hinge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of two long metal door hinges and eleven small metal screws. The top hinge has a flat, textured surface with a long, narrow shape featuring a pointed end on the left and a rounded end on the right; there are four holes along its length for screws. The bottom hinge is similar but smoother with five holes along its length; both hinges have a strap on their right end. The eleven screws are arranged in two rows above the hinges. The title of the image is "Hinge" and the artist is unknown.
