Spoon

John Burger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Spoon by John Burger. The spoon has an oval-shaped bowl. The bowl is shiny and smooth with no visible patterns. The handle is long and narrow with a decorative design near the end. The design features engraved lines running along the length and a circular pattern at the end. The circular pattern appears to have lines and shapes etched into it. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The spoon is laid flat on the surface, with the bowl on the left and the handle on the right.
