Skewer

John Letelier Sr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of three similar skewers. The skewers are long and thin with a pointed end. The top skewer is the longest. The skewers have a circular attachment at one end. The skewers have some visible scratches and wear. The skewers are placed on a light-colored surface. There is a label with text on it below and to the right of the skewers, reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". There are two other labels with typed text on them below the skewers. The label on the left appears to have information about the skewers. The background is a light-colored surface with some darker spots. The image includes a ruler to show scale to the left of the typed labels.
