Embroidery Punch

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two white objects on a dark background. The top object is long and tapered to a point at one end. It has a rounded section at the other end. The object has a series of ridges and grooves along its length. A cord with a tassel is attached to the rounded end. The cord has a looped design. The bottom object is cylindrical and has a metal band around the middle. Both objects have numbers printed on them: "11-60-325B" on the top object and "11-60-325A" on the bottom object. A ruler is partially visible at the bottom left. A label at the bottom right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The objects are titled "Embroidery Punch" by the artist.
