Spoon with Fish-Tail Design

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Spoon with Fish-Tail Design by Unknown is a long, thin, metal spoon with a fish-tail shaped handle. The spoon is made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or copper, with a greenish patina. The bowl of the spoon is oval-shaped and smooth. The handle is long and slender, with a distinctive fish-tail design at the top. The fish-tail design features two small, curved prongs that resemble the tail of a fish. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the spoon. The spoon is positioned at an angle, with the bowl facing downwards and the handle pointing upwards. A shadow is cast to the right of the spoon.
