Lantern

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photo of an object titled "Lantern" by an unidentified artist. The object is black and made of metal. It has a wide base on the left side that tapers into a rectangular body. A handle extends from the right side of the body. The top of the object is pyramid-shaped, with a wide base that narrows to a point. The pyramid top is made of multiple pleated sections. The object sits on a flat surface, with a small ruler-like scale and a label at the bottom. The label reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1954". The background is a plain white surface.
