Ladle

Richard Lee

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ladle by Richard Lee: The ladle has a long handle made of dark wood with a decorative shape at the top. The handle is thin and features a thicker section near the top, followed by a narrower section below it, and then a small knob at the very top. The handle transitions to a metal section that is attached to a large, shallow bowl. The metal part of the handle and the bowl appear to be made of silver or a similar metal, with visible signs of wear and tear. The ladle is presented against a plain gray background.
