Two metal spoons with handles, one above the other on a white background. The top spoon has a shiny gray color with a darker edge. The spoon bowl is oval shaped. The handle is long and narrow with a slight curve at the end. The bottom spoon is darker, with a brown and black color. The bowl of the spoon is also oval shaped. The handle is long and narrow with a slight curve at the end. The spoons are likely a mold and a finished product, with the title "Spoons and Spoon Mold" and the artist not specified but implied.
