Spoon
A spoon (Latin cochlear) is a device for eating with a handle and a rounded part with a recess made of metal or wood. They were usually made of iron or precious alloys-copper, silver or gold. There were also ornate and folding options.

In addition to folding ones, there were also prefabricated spoon-knives. An example is the panther spoon from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, # 17.192.254. It was made of a copper alloy with the use of silvering and blackening. It had dimensions of 12. 3x2. 5x1. 6 cm. Found in northern France. It is assumed that the gap at the end of the handle served to insert the blade and it could function both as a spoon and as a knife.
