Spoon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark metal spoon with a long handle and a wide, shallow bowl. The handle is thin and curved with two small circular loops on the left side. A third loop is at the end of the handle with a small pointed object hanging from it. The spoon has a green and brown patina. Spoon by artist is not visible, but likely associated with James T. Dickinson.
