Curb Bit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal curb bit with a gold-colored circular ornament on the top right side. The ornament has a flower-like design in the center and a decorative edge. A long, thin metal piece extends from the ornament to the bottom of the bit, curving downward. A chain connects to the bottom of this piece. On the left side, a metal piece resembles a horse's head. The background is a solid gray color. The curb bit is by an unknown artist.
