Spoon

John Peabody

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spoon with a rounded bowl and a long handle. The bowl is on the left side. The bowl is shiny and oval shaped. The handle is on the right side. The handle is long and narrow with a slight curve. There are engraved cursive letters on the handle near the end. The letters appear to be "J P B". The spoon appears to be made of silver or another shiny metal. The background is a plain gray surface.
