Pin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze object titled "Pin" by artist unknown. The object has a long, thin handle made of dark-colored metal, likely bronze, with a slight sheen and visible patina, and is long and slender, tapering to a point at the bottom. Attached to the top of the handle is a large, round disc with a rough edge. The disc has a dark green and brown patina with lighter areas visible. The surface of the disc is not smooth and appears to have some texture or pattern. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
