IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 70534 accession number: GR.1.1991 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Thursday 29 February 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: As well as a knife, spoon, and fork, this implement provides a spike, spatula and small pick. The spike might have helped in extracting the meat from snails, and the spatula in poking sauce out of narrow-necked bottles: the pick could have served as a tooth-pick. While many less elaborate folding knives survive in bronze, this one’s complexity and the fact that it is made of silver suggest it is a luxury item, perhaps a useful gadget for a wealthy traveller. object type: eating implement, folding, with three-pronged fork, spatula, pick, spike and knife. title: compound utensil LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Antiquities STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/70534 CATEGORIES ------ category: tool category: implement DATING ------ creation date: 201 -
