Military Fork

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Military Fork by an unknown artist features a two-pronged metal fork-like object with a long, thin handle. The handle is black with a ribbed texture and a silver-colored metal piece at the top, where it connects to the fork. The fork has two long, thin prongs that are slightly curved outward from the center. A smaller, thinner prong protrudes from the center of the fork, between the two larger prongs. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
