Ladle, 50-25 Additional Info: Made in two parts, bowl and handle, each cast separately and soldered together. The interior of the bowl is plain, the exterior has a central molding and a wreath formed by two tendrils springing forth from an acanthus leaf situated near the handle attachment. The stem of the unusually long handle is faceted; it has a molded finial (ornament) at its extremity, and a bead and reel molding at its junction to the flattened crescent-shaped attachment. The contours of the attachment are decorated with a sequence of curlicues.
