Pair of Weighted Fasteners

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a pair of weighted fasteners. Two gold-colored objects are shown. They are identical in shape and size. Each object consists of three stacked, rounded, flat discs that decrease in diameter from bottom to top. The discs are separated by narrow gaps. A diagonal line runs across each object, from the top left to the bottom right. The objects are positioned on a plain surface, with a gradient background that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The objects cast a faint shadow on the surface below them. The surface is flat and even. The overall appearance suggests a product or artifact photograph.
