Silver, parcel-gilt; the squared-oval bowl has an pentagonal handle with cast silver-gilt finial in the form of a female term
Silver, parcel-gilt. The shallow squared-oval bowl is attached by a facetted rat's tail to a pentagonal handle with cast finial in the form of a female term with masks of a man, woman and baby on her back. The back of the bowl is engraved with a coats-of-arms under a banner inscribed '16 H.W.B. 14'. The whole spoon may once have been gilt but, whilst traces remain in the bowl, the armorials and finial have been regilt.
