Cantle Plates

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cantle Plates by Donald Lipski. Two curved metal plates, likely made of steel or aluminum with a gray color and speckled appearance, possibly due to oxidation or texture; each plate has a distinct shape with curved edges and pointed ends; the plates are positioned side by side with a visible gap; the left plate features a raised edge along its inner curve and a small circular indentation near the center; the right plate has a similar raised edge; both plates display small holes and rivets; the background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow underneath.
