Pepper Box

William Pollard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver-colored metal object with a handle and lid. The object is cylindrical, with a flat bottom and slightly rounded edges. Three horizontal lines are at the bottom, and two are near the top. A curved handle extends from the right side, attached near the bottom and middle. The handle curves up and back, ending in a downward-pointing hook. The lid has a small knob on top and many small holes covering most of its surface. A small mark on the front near the top reads "WP". The background is white. The object is titled "Pepper Box" by artist William Pollard.
