Spoon

Ebenezer Moulton

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Spoon by Ebenezer Moulton. The spoon has a large, oval bowl with a slight curvature. The handle is long and narrow, becoming wider at the end. The handle features an etched design, consisting of a series of wavy lines and a circle with a leaf-like pattern inside. The handle's end is rounded and flat. The spoon appears to be made of metal, likely silver, with some darker spots. The background is a plain gray color.
