The image shows two metal salt shovels. The shovels are side by side and both have a long handle that tapers to a wider, curved scoop at the end. The handles are smooth and have a slight curve to them. The top shovel is positioned with the scoop facing to the right, while the bottom shovel is positioned with the scoop facing to the left. The bottom shovel has some engraved text on the handle, the letters appear to be "T.A.DAVIS" and some numbers. The background of the image is a plain gray surface. Salt Shovel by T. A. Davis.
