Tongs by Bernard Wenman. Metal tongs with a textured handle on one side and smooth handles on the other. The tongs have a long, thin handle with a spoon-like end on one and a smaller spoon on the other. The handles are engraved with a pattern of small lines on one side. The tongs are made of shiny metal, possibly silver. They are placed on a white surface with a slight shadow underneath. The background of the image is white.
