Comments

This spoon is notable for its poor materials and workmanship.  It has a simple, double-twisted handle riveted to a shield-shaped bowl.  A heart-shaped panel with an embossed ten-pointed star decorates the handle tip.  A crude cherub figure is engraved into the lower half of the shield-shaped bowl.
