Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a pair of metal tongs positioned against a textured, dark reddish background. Attached to the tongs is a small, rectangular white tag with black handwritten text that reads "Tongs 'Panama Pacific'" followed by the number "79.28.14." The tag is affixed to the tongs with a piece of twine threaded through a small hole in the corner, and there's a small circular sticker, possibly indicating a price or item number, near the hinge of the tongs. The lighting in the image casts a warm tone over the objects, creating subtle reflections and highlights on the metal surface.
