Paul Storr

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a dessert fork and spoon set. The silverware has a gold-colored finish. The spoon is oval-shaped with a slightly raised edge. The handle of the spoon features a relief scene depicting two hunters and their dogs chasing a boar. The fork has four prongs and a flat, wide handle. The handle of the fork also features a relief scene with two scenes: on the left side, a man on horseback spears a boar; on the right side, a man on horseback shoots a bow and arrow at a lion. Both pieces of silverware have ornate handles with decorative elements. The background of the image is dark gray.
