Sugar Cutter

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pair of large metal calipers or pincers positioned centrally. The tool is bronze or dark gray with a slightly reflective surface, suggesting a metallic texture. It is against a plain, light beige background that enhances its shape and details. The handles of the object curve outward slightly, and the head forms a distinctive hook-like shape.
