Table Spoon

William G. Forbes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two metal spoons. The top spoon has a long handle with an oval-shaped bowl. The handle features an engraved design near the bowl and a circular pattern at the end. The bottom spoon has a similar shape but with a more elongated bowl and a handle that is engraved with numbers. Both spoons are shiny and reflective, suggesting they are made of silver or another polished metal. The background of the image is white, with the spoons placed on a flat surface. The title of the image is "Table Spoon by William G. Forbes".
