Pocket Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Pocket Book" by an unknown artist shows a rectangular, dark-colored object with a textured surface. The object is positioned horizontally and features a darker, almost black color with visible wear and tear. A strap-like piece of material runs vertically down the center, attached to a small metal piece at the bottom. The strap has horizontal lines running across it. The object's surface exhibits a bumpy texture, with some lighter areas and small spots scattered throughout. The background of the image is white, providing contrast to the dark object.
