Cowboy's Hackamore Bit

Cecil Smith

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two large, rusty metal objects connected by a thick, knotted rope. The color palette consists of rusty browns, metallic grays, and a touch of creamy beige in the background. Positioned centrally, the metal pieces overlap with the rope forming an arch across the top. The pieces have various holes and protrusions and are linked at the bottom with thin wire and spherical elements.
