The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a silver spoon. The spoon has an oval-shaped bowl with a decorative fan design at the base where it meets the handle. The handle is long and narrow, with a rounded end. There are several engraved markings on the spoon. On the front of the handle, the engraved text reads "L.M.803.270" with numbers underneath. On the back of the handle, there appears to be a partially visible engraving. The background is a plain light gray color. The title of the image is Spoon by Daniel Henchman.
