Bit Boss

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a circular, dark brown metal object. The object is centered on the image and is likely made of iron or steel. It has a raised edge around its perimeter and a small hole at the top and bottom. The top hole is positioned at the top of a small tab that extends from the edge of the circle. The bottom hole is positioned at the bottom of a similar tab. The object has a concave center with a small, raised circle in the middle. The surface of the object is rough and rusted in places, with a dark brown color that is lighter in some areas where the rust has worn off. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
