Frisian silver ornamental spoon, 18th century

Frisian ornamental spoon crowned by a female figure with an olive and palm branch, which was mainly used in Frisian ornamental spoons from the first half of the eighteenth century. The olive branch is associated, among other things, with peace, as an aspect of divine grace. The palm branch promises reward to those who are worthy.

The spoon has only been approved with the Dutch dolphin mark; the 1859 tax mark for new, non-guaranteed items of national origin.

The spoon is in good condition with traces of age.

Weight: 39.2 grams. Length: 17 cm.
