Description

Silver shawl pin (tupu) in the shape of a spoon with a gemstone in the centre. In the concave bowl of the spoon is an engraving of a two headed bird with full plumage, long tail feathers, and wings tucked in at sides. A crown sits in the space between the heads and is topped with a cross. The edge of the bowl is decorated with irregularly placed dots. Below the bowl are two decorative oval hoops, between which is an orange stone placed on the pin where it meets the bowl. The pin is long and tapers toward a point at bottom.
