Serving Spoon

Jacob Hurd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Serving Spoon by Jacob Hurd. The image shows a silver serving spoon with a long, thin handle and a large oval bowl. The bowl of the spoon is on the left side and is smooth and shiny. The handle is on the right side and features a decorative design near the bowl and at the end. The decorative design near the bowl consists of two raised rings. The decorative design at the end of the handle features a series of raised rings and a small cone-shaped tip. The background of the image is a solid light grey color. The spoon appears to be made of silver or another shiny metal. The overall appearance of the spoon suggests it is old and possibly antique. The image is a straightforward, well-lit photograph with no other objects visible.
