The piece is titled Curb Bit. The Curb Bit is made of metal. The bit has a decorative top with a central oval-shaped piece with a ring on either side. There are two long, thin bars extending downwards from the top piece. The bars are connected by a decorative piece in the middle and have rings at the bottom. The background of the image is a plain brown color. The bit appears to be ornate and old.
