Spoon

Spoon with rounded bowl and rather long handle carved with head of sea-monster, a personified snag. The mouth turns down, the round eyes are inlaid with mother of pearl as were origninally the three vertical grooves above the face; the forms around the eye turn down to follow the lines of the mouth. The nostrils may also have been inlaid.
