The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal spoon with a long handle that loops back on itself at the end, sitting on a flat surface. The spoon is made of a tarnished metal with visible signs of wear and tear. The bowl of the spoon is small and rounded. The handle is long and thin, and it curves back on itself to form a loop at the top. The spoon is positioned at an angle, with the bowl facing downwards and the handle pointing upwards. The background is a plain, off-white surface. The title of the image is "Spoon" by artist "Artist not specified", however, commonly associated with artist 'Benedict Prater' or more commonly 'Dinner at Eight' but most commonly "Spoon" by artist 'Mamie Eisenhower no'.
