The image shows a black and white photo of a metal salt shovel. The salt shovel has a long handle and a wide, shallow scoop at the end. The scoop is roughly rectangular in shape with curved edges. The handle is thin and smooth with a slight curve. A small ruler-like object and a label are below the salt shovel. The label reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1934". The background is a plain gray surface. The salt shovel by Nehemiah Norcross.
