Wall Bracket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wall Bracket by an unknown artist. The object is a black and white image of a wall bracket. The bracket is made of metal and has a distressed finish, with visible signs of wear and tear. It is ornate, with a flat top and a decorative design that resembles a scroll or a leaf. The top of the bracket is flat and wide, with a small hole in the center. The bracket is attached to the wall with a small metal loop at the top. The background of the image is plain white, with a slight shadow cast by the bracket. The bracket's design features curved lines and shapes that form a symmetrical pattern. The metal appears to be weathered, with a rough texture and a dark color. The bracket's shape is asymmetrical, with a wider top and a narrower bottom. The image is a close-up shot of the bracket, with no other objects visible in the background.
