The image shows a pair of silver tongs by John Boutier. The tongs are long and slender with a rounded handle at one end. The handles are made of two silver balls that are attached to the rest of the tongs. The tongs have a scalloped edge along the inside of the gripping area. The metal appears to have a brushed or hammered finish with a decorative edge around the gripping area. The tongs are positioned at an angle, with the handles on the right side and the gripping area on the left. The background is white.
