An ancient egyptian spoon

Eyes like a cave-fish  Pro User  says:

Just thought I'd share a beautiful ancient egyptian spoon I stumbled across but for which I can't upload the photo (it belongs to the Brooklyn Museum of Art). It has a handle carved as a jackal in a unique plan-and-profile form, apparently gripping the bowl in its teeth. Hope you like it, perhaps this will inspire someone (me, for example)
