Bullet Mold

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark metal tool with two loops at the end of long handles for gripping, resembling scissors. The two ends of the tool are cuboid in shape. One cuboid is made of a brass-colored metal and the other is dark. The brass-colored cuboid has a small hole on one side. The tool appears to be old and rusty with visible signs of wear and tear. The background is a light gray color. The tool is labeled as "Bullet Mold" by an unspecified artist.
