Abstract

The spoon handle was made by wrapping flat metal back on itself into the shaft. The seam is evident on the back. The shovel is concave in the shape of a shield, terminating along two diagonal straight edges in a point. The left side of the spoon is cracked. The right side of the spoon has broken off and has been smoothed. The depth of the spoon is shallow.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a green-colored, copper alloy spoon. The neck of the spoon is very long and slender and the end is also rather small, and comes to a soft point at its apex, unlike most modern spoons. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
