Table Spoon

William G. Forbes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of two spoons. The spoon on the left has a long, thin handle with an engraving at the top; the engraving depicts a bowl of fruit. The bowl of the spoon is oval-shaped and shiny. The spoon on the right is larger, with a wider bowl and a shorter handle; it also has an engraving on the handle near the bowl. The engraving appears to be a series of numbers: "23.80.29". There is a small rectangular mark on the handle near the bottom. The background of the image is a plain gray surface. The title of the image is "Table Spoon by William G. Forbes".
