Spring Device

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a long, thin piece of metal with a dark green patina, likely bronze. The object titled "Spring Device" by the artist is rectangular in shape with a small loop at one end on the left side. The metal has a rough texture and appears to be weathered. There are visible signs of wear and tear, with some areas appearing more worn than others. A small, triangular-shaped piece of metal protrudes from the right side. The background of the image is white, providing a clean and neutral contrast to the aged metal object. The object is positioned horizontally across the center of the image.
