Buffe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal object titled "Buffe" by an unnamed artist. The object is made of silver-colored metal, likely steel, with a weathered appearance and visible signs of wear, including dark spots and scratches. It has a long, narrow, tapered top that extends upwards, resembling a neck or a funnel. The bottom of the object is wider and flat, with a rounded edge. There are two metal hooks on either side of the object, near the bottom, and a small loop at the top. The background of the image is plain white, suggesting a neutral or studio setting.
