Gift of Jerome Furman

Large wooden spoon; undecorated. (3051/1928-1947 were grouped together as a similar lot of 20 wooden spoons or ladles, out of the larger group of 1928 spoons.)

Large wooden spoon with carved designs all the way around the handle; the top four cm of the tip and the bowl are uncarved.

Rattle made of six cones of tin attached to a wooden handle. The cones consist of different sizes, three wide and long, and three shorter and smaller in diameter. All are crimped at the handle, where they fit into a metal ring that joins them to the handle. Each cone widens toward the base. The larger three contain a wire hung with a metal nut as a clapper. The cones are decorated with circle and line motifs pressed into the tin. The wooden handle has an engraved line that spirals from end to end.

Long, pointed hand axe. Flattened oval shape overall. There are some areas of polish, particularly near the blade end. The blade’s edge is rough.
