Shovel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of two fireplace tools. The tool on the left has two long, thin, tapered metal pieces with rounded ends; they are connected by a circular metal piece at the top near their handles. The handles are made of metal, each with 3 small spheres on top. The tool on the right has a wide, flat, metal scoop at the bottom and a long handle with a decorative metal piece near the top; it also has a small sphere on top of its handle. The tools appear to have a textured surface and a dark color, possibly from wear and tear. They are against a light-colored background. The tools are labeled as "Shovel" and are by an unknown artist.
