Brush Washer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a metal brush washer titled "Brush Washer" by an unknown artist. The object is oval shaped with a deep interior and a small lip around the edge. It has a beetle head on the left side. The beetle head has a large oval body with a smaller oval protrusion on top. Two antennae protrude from the top of the head. The object appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze or brass, with a dark patina. The surface of the object is scratched and worn, with some areas appearing more weathered than others. The background of the image is a plain gray color. There is a small white rectangle at the bottom of the image with black text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
