Fire Tongs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows "Fire Tongs" by an unknown artist, featuring a pair of long, slender metal tongs with a handle at the top. The handle is ornate, with a bulbous top and a narrower base. The tongs themselves are made of metal and have a long, thin, tapered shape, with a circular base that allows them to stand upright. The two long arms of the tongs are flat and narrow, with a slight curve at the bottom. The background of the image is plain white.
