Small ladle or tasting spoon, composed of a wrought iron handle with curved narrow tip at the end for hanging on the wall, long shaft terminates in a circular bowl of hammered brass with three circular copper rivets, on the reverse of the bowl is a t-shaped piece of wrought iron with three corresponding copper rivets.
