This spoon is made from a section of brown horn, with a tapered handle partly hollowed out and engraved with three ringed rings. The junction features a pointed cut in the horn and the end of the handle has a cavity that probably allows it to be suspended.
The spoon is an extension of the handle and shows signs of use.
