The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photo of two spoons. The spoons are placed side by side on a flat surface, with their bowls facing left. The bowls are shiny and oval-shaped. The handles are long and narrow, with a decorative design at the end. The design on the handles features etched lines and a leaf pattern. The surface beneath the spoons is light-colored and speckled. The top and bottom edges of the image cut off part of the spoons' handles. The spoons are titled "Tea Spoon" by Patrick Martin.
