Weight: 33.6 g.
Dimensions: 113 mm
A set of five spoons with oval, slightly tapered bowls and long, slender handles, twisted spirally in the middle. The flat ends of the handles are shaped to resemble arrow feathers: on both sides of the prominent central ridge are rows of diagonal, engraved notches. The shape of the scoop, the straight section of the handle, and the wide end form a composition reminiscent of a stylized arrow.
On the reverse side of the scoop, a twig with leaves and a flower is engraved, framed by a border of fine zigzag ornamentation. The surfaces retain a golden hue, indicating locally worn gilding, which is particularly evident on the inside of the scoops and at the ends of the handles.
The spoons are hallmarked with Russian marks from 1908–1917, Kostroma assay office. The fineness of 84 zolotniks corresponds to 0.875 silver. The silversmith is unknown.
