Snaffle Bit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Snaffle Bit by Georg Jensen: The bit is made of metal and has a silver or grey color. It consists of two side pieces that are symmetrical. Each side piece has a long, thin, straight bar that extends downwards and two circular rings, one at the top and one at the bottom. The top ring on each side piece is larger than the bottom one. The two side pieces are connected by a chain with oval links in the middle. The chain has a series of small oval links that connect to the side pieces and to each other. The background of the image is a solid light grey color.
