Sugar Shovel

H. M. Nichols

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sugar shovel by H. M. Nichols. The shovel has a metal scoop with a slightly rounded rectangular shape. A handle extends from the scoop with a dark section where they meet. The handle is wider near the scoop and tapers towards the end. The handle has cursive writing on it that appears to say "R. Mo." The background of the image is white with some small dark spots scattered around. There is a shadow underneath the shovel.
