The image features a pair of sugar tongs by Robert Wilson. The tongs are made of silver, with a long handle that tapers towards the end and a small spherical knob at the end. The other end has two prongs, one slightly larger than the other. The prongs are curved inward, with a slight indentation in the middle. There is an etched design on the outside of the prongs near the curved end, consisting of a short branch with several leaves. The tongs are positioned at an angle, with the prongs facing left. The background is white, with a slight shadow underneath the tongs.
