Brush Stand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a metal object titled "Brush Stand" by an unknown artist. The object is made of metal, likely silver or chrome, and has a smooth, reflective surface. It is shaped like a rounded rectangle with curved ends that fold inward, resembling a hollowed-out wave. The top surface features several thin, darker lines running horizontally across it, possibly etched or engraved. The object appears to be sitting on a flat surface, with a slight shadow visible underneath. The background of the image is plain white.
