Churn

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wooden churn by artist unknown titled "Churn". A cylindrical wooden object with a flat top and bottom. The object is wider at the bottom than at the top. Three horizontal grooves encircle the object, one at the very bottom, one in the middle, and one near the top. The object appears to be made of light-colored wood and has a smooth finish. A handle extends upward from the top. The handle is long and thin, with a rounded top. The background is a gradient of dark gray at the top and lighter gray at the bottom.
