Decorated spoons in the form of an arm and hand holding a shell have a long history in Egyptian Art. Following on the 18th dynasty development of a fine array of elaborately decorated spoons in fine woods and ivory that seem to have served as offerings or gifts rather than objects of use, the spoon comprised of bowl and hand developed in this direction also. The Late New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period through Saite Period has produced a number of spoons consisting of a large bowl gripped by a long-fingered hand with a wrist and lower forearm. In the fashion of these later times, faience and fine grained stones, rather than luxury materials, are generally used. A number of examples of this kind are inscribed with names of gods and donors.This example and one other are the only examples of the numerous preserved examples of decorated spoons of any type that retain any signs of contents. This one has traces of a red pigment, which has suggested to some it may have been reused(?).
