A fine Georgian silver double ended marrow scoop, of unusual form with the thin scoop reversed to face the opposite direction. Very few makers adopted this reverse configuration so they are rarely found.

It measures 22cm (8 5/8") long and 1.6cm (5/8") across the wide scoop, 0.8cm (3/8") across the small scoop. It weighs 35g / 1.1ozt.
