Tongs

John Vernon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal tongs with two rounded ends, lying on a plain white surface. The tongs have a slight sheen and appear to be made of silver or stainless steel. A small pin or rivet is visible on the top near the handle end. The background is plain white, with a subtle shadow cast by the tongs. The image is in black and white. Tongs by John Vernon.
