Tea Spoon

Teunis Denise Dubois

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two metal spoons and a small piece of paper. The top spoon has a rounded bowl and a handle with an ornate design at the end. The handle is widest at the end and tapers to the bowl. The bottom spoon has a similar shape but its handle has a decorative element near the bowl and is widest near the bowl, tapering to the end. The spoons are placed on a flat surface, with the top spoon above the bottom spoon. The small piece of paper is below the spoons, with handwritten numbers on it. The background is a plain surface, possibly a table or countertop. The image is in black and white and titled "Tea Spoon by Teunis Denise Dubois".
