Marrow Spoon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spoon titled "Marrow Spoon" by an unidentified artist. The spoon is made of shiny metal, likely silver, and has a long handle with a narrow, oval-shaped bowl. The bowl of the spoon is positioned on the left side, and the handle extends to the right. The spoon appears to be lying flat on a surface, with its bowl facing left. The background of the image is a gray surface with some darker spots and marks. There is some white writing at the bottom of the image, but it is not legible. The overall appearance of the image is simple and straightforward, with the spoon being the main focus.
