| Description |
Spoon with a bowl and handle made from two pieces of mountain goat horn. At the neck of the spoon, the bowl and handle are attached with three small copper alloy rivets. On the handle, close to the bowl, is a carving of a large animal with a protruding tongue. At the far end of the handle is a carved body of a bird, its head peering down on a second bird. The overall condition of the object is good and stable. |
