DescriptionThis iron double spoon is forged from one piece of iron. The round, shallow, flat stock handle between bowls is twisted so that when one bowl is positioned up, the other bowl is positioned down. The function of this positioning is unknown, though this piece may have been used for measuring or mixing metallic compounds.
