A close-up, high-contrast, black and white photograph of a vintage metal valve and plumbing assembly. The intricate metalwork shows bolted flanges and a distinct, flower-shaped wheel handle. The lighting emphasizes the texture and highlights, giving the aged metal a strong, reflective shine against a deep black background
