Mordant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal object with a dark brown and gold color. The object is shaped like a bulb with a narrow neck and a wider body. The object has a small, round indentation on either side, near the wider part. The object has a small, rounded point at the very top. The background of the image is light blue-gray. The image appears to be a titled piece called "Mordant" by an unidentified artist.
