Spoon

Brass spoons for eating, as well as brass bowls and chopsticks, are commonly used by wealthier people in Korea. This spoon may have been for women's use, as women's utensils are often different from men's. Alternatively, it may have been specially made for foreigners, or as a temple fitting.
