Mordant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Mordant" by an unknown artist depicts a bronze-colored metal object with a hole in the middle. The object has a wavy, irregular shape, with several protruding sections resembling leaves or petals. The object is positioned horizontally. The left side features a cluster of rounded shapes with a circular hole in the center. The right side has a more jagged edge with a few diagonal lines. The background is a plain light blue color. The object appears to be made of a dark bronze or brass material with visible texture and patina.
