Snaffle Bit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a snaffle bit by the artist. The snaffle bit is made of dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or iron. It has a long, horizontal body with a series of connected loops in the center. The bit has two flat, oval-shaped ends that curve downward. The metal has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging or wear. The background of the image is a plain, light-colored surface, likely a table or other flat surface. The snaffle bit is centered in the image, with equal space on either side.
