Bow-Shaped Fitting

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal object titled "Bow-Shaped Fitting" by an unknown artist. The object is made of dark-colored metal with a weathered appearance. It has a bow-shaped base with a small raised dot in the center. Two curved arms extend upwards from the base, each ending in a sphere. The spheres are reflective and appear to be made of the same material as the rest of the object. The background is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it. The surface is white.
