Spoon

Paul Revere Jr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two metal spoons are shown. The spoon on top is lying with its bowl to the right. The top of the handle has a wide, flat shape. There is a small mark on the top handle to the left of center. The bowl of the spoon is shiny and smooth. The bottom spoon has its bowl to the left. The top of the handle is narrower than the bottom, which flares out. The bottom spoon's handle has raised engraving on the right end. The spoons cast shadows on a light-colored surface. A small white rectangle with a few letters written on it is at the bottom.
