About this piece
Two bowls, one jewel, and an unusual symmetry.
Tibetan silversmiths made this double-ended spoon in silver in the 19th century, and the record notes turquoise. Spoons like this are commonly associated with ritual and domestic use in Tibet. The two leaf-shaped bowls are engraved with central veins, and a small orange-red stone sits in a beaded, flower-like setting between them. The silver is gray and softly rubbed, with darker traces left in the engraving.
About 5 inches long. A serious object that is easy to like.
