Ladle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal ladle titled "Ladle" by an unidentified artist. The ladle has a long handle, slightly thicker at the end where it meets the bowl, and tapers to a point at the other end. The handle is mostly straight. The bowl of the ladle is rounded and slightly flattened on one side. The ladle appears to be made of metal, possibly copper or bronze, and has a greenish-brown patina. The surface of the metal is rough and pockmarked with spots of red and blue-green. The ladle is positioned at an angle, with the bowl facing to the right and the handle extending to the left. The background of the image is a plain white surface.
