The image shows four metal salt and pepper shakers. The shakers are made of silver or pewter and have a conical shape with rounded bases. They have small holes on top for dispensing the seasonings. The shakers are arranged in a row from left to right. The first shaker on the left is slightly shorter than the second. The third shaker is bulbous in the middle and has two etched lines around the top. The fourth shaker on the right resembles the first. The background is a light gray color. A small white label on the bottom right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The title of the image is "Caster" by an unknown artist.
