Spoon, 18th century
Silver, 16 cm (6 5/16 in.)
This silver spoon has a plain, round, shallow bowl. The handle is plain at the junction with the bowl, but the upper half flattens and is decorated with an undulating line of simple leaves ending in a plain square with four tooth-like cut outs at the end. There is a monogram MLS on the back of the bowl.
