| Description |
English: Cast copper alloy ear scoop and nail cleaner with flattened sub-triangular bowl as one terminal and a forked bifid nail cleaner as the other terminal. The shallow bowl may also have been used to scoop up make-up or scent. Below the back of the bowl is a wide transverse groove across the shank, which may have been used to rest the spoon on an edge so that it did not spill its contents.
Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate a similar example with a tooth-pick end on page 2933, Fig.1501, No.14475, which is dated from the mid 15th to the early 17th century. Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar example with a nail-cleaner terminal on page 64, Fig.32, No.398, which is dated from c.1500-1550. Egan and Pritchard (2002) refer to an example in the Museum of London (Acc. no.84.341/6) which has an earscoop and bifurcated toothpick and a shank decorated with transverse grooves on page 379. |
