Chape and Ferrule

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts three rusty, corroded metal objects. The object on the left is irregularly shaped with multiple holes and a rough texture. The middle object is long and thin, with a jagged top and a rough surface. The object on the right is also long and thin, but shorter than the middle object, with a smooth surface. All three objects are dark brown and orange in color, with visible rust and corrosion. The background of the image is a plain light gray color, providing a neutral backdrop for the three objects. Chape and Ferrule.
