Collar for Hunting Dog

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black plastic tray filled with white packing foam, containing multiple dark brown metal hunting dog collars. The collars are made of metal, have a dark brown color, and feature a central piece from which several spikes or prongs protrude. The collars have two long prongs extending downward to form a partial loop, likely designed to attach to a dog's neck. The collars are arranged on white packing foam, which lines the black tray. The background shows a glimpse of another tray or container on the left side. The overall appearance suggests the collars are for a hunting dog, as indicated by the title.
