Mother-of-pearl and gilt metal; mother-of-pearl bowl with gilt metal scrolled handle
Mother-of-pearl and gilt metal spoon. The elongated oval mother-of-pearl bowl is pinned to a scrolled gilt metal handle. On the front of the bowl, the handle is shaped and engraved to resemble an acanthus leaf with a scroll on either side. The part of the handle behind the bowl is longer and arrow-shaped. The slender stem terminates in three scrolls with a rat's tail running down the back of the handle.
