The image shows a black and white photograph of a salt spoon by Martin Benedict. The spoon is made of silver or another shiny metal and has a rounded bowl. The handle of the spoon is long and narrow, with a decorative shell-like design at the end. There is a cursive signature on the handle. The spoon is placed on a gray fabric surface. Underneath the spoon on the right, there is a small white rectangular label with black text that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The photograph is bordered by white on all sides.
