- Dynasty:Shang dynasty
- Category:Bronzes
- Function:Wine vessel, ritual vessel
- Material:Mineral/metal/bronze
- Description:
Spoon body with equivalent length and width, One handle comes out from the side, more than twice the height of the spoon. The spoon body is decorated with milk ding pattern and thin line shallow relief triangle pattern. The copper handle of the spoon is longer than that seen at present, and it is at the end of the wooden handle. It is speculated from other unearthed tools at the same time that the device may be broken and its section may be supplemented by wooden handles. The shape of the wooden handle is slightly curved, reaching the bottom of the cup. It seems that the angle between the cup body and the spoon handle is slightly large, so it is inconvenient to put it into the container. But this seems to be a common practice in Anyang area in the late Shang Dynasty
