Horse Tack Ornament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Horse Tack Ornament by Unknown Artist is a small, dark brown metal object with a rough texture. The object is roughly circular with two curved protrusions on either side and a smaller one at the top. The object appears to be made of metal with a dark brown patina, possibly from oxidation. The background of the image is a plain light gray color, providing a neutral contrast to the object. The object casts a subtle shadow on the background, suggesting it is raised slightly from the surface.
