Spoon with Fish-Tail Design

Cleveland Museum of Art

Spoon with Fish-Tail Design by John Howe. The spoon is made of metal with a green patina. The bowl of the spoon is oval shaped and smooth. The handle is long and narrow, with a decorative end. The decorative end of the handle is shaped like a fish tail, with two pointed parts that curve outward. The spoon is positioned at an angle, with the bowl pointing toward the bottom-left corner. The background is a plain gray surface with a shadow cast by the spoon. The shadow is dark and extends to the right of the spoon. The image is well-lit, with a light source coming from the left side. The overall appearance of the spoon suggests it is an antique or vintage item. The metal has a worn, aged look. The spoon's design and craftsmanship indicate a high level of skill and attention to detail.
