Anvil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture titled "Anvil" by an unidentified artist. The sculpture is made of wood and metal. The base of the sculpture is a wooden block with a rough, rectangular shape. The wood is weathered and has a brown color with some green and pink accents. It appears to have a face carved into it, with one eye visible and what appears to be a mouth or nose. On top of the wooden block is a metal anvil. The anvil is made of dark gray metal and has a distinctive shape, with a pointed top and a flat surface. It appears to be attached to the wooden base. The background of the image is white, suggesting that the sculpture is being displayed against a neutral backdrop.
