Spoon

John Burger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spoon by John Burger. The spoon has a large, oval bowl that is shiny and reflects light. The handle of the spoon is long and narrow, with a decorative design near the end. The design features a circular pattern with a leafy motif on either side and what appears to be a monogram in the center. The handle tapers in width from the bowl to the end. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
