Comments

3-D Griffon atop a twisted handle shank

Flat-bottom shovel

The spoon has a long and slender double-twist shaft.  The "bowl" is a shovel with a flat bottom and rounded heel or shoulder.  A three-dimensionally modeled griffin rearing on its hind feet caps the handle shank.

The spoon is unmarked.
