Shovel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a shovel with a long handle and a wide, flat blade. The handle is long and thin, made of metal, and has a rounded knob at the top. The blade is wide and flat, with a straight edge, and appears to be made of metal as well. The blade is attached to the handle and has a slight curve upwards. The shovel is shown against a plain background, with no other objects visible. The overall appearance is simple and functional. The title of the image is "Shovel" by an unknown artist.
