'The Regalia. - 4', c1911. '1. Coronation Gloves; 2. The Anointing Spoon; 3. Coronation Bracelets; 4. The Spurs; 5. The Ampulla for the Anointing'. The anointing spoon is '...of pure [and has] four pearls in the broadest part of the handle'. [The spoon is first recorded in 1349 as preserved among St Edward's Regalia in Westminster Abbey].

It resembles an eagle with expanded wings, and is finely chased; the head screws off at the middle of the neck, for pouring in the oil, and the neck being hollow to the beak, the latter serves as a spout, through which the consecrated oil is poured into the anointing spoon'.
