Spoon
Not on view
The cast finial of this spoon depicts Saint Andrew, recognizable by his attribute, a cross in the shape of an X. This motif suggests that the spoon was part of a set of thirteen with representations of the twelve apostles and either Christ or the Madonna and Child. Beginning in the fifteenth century, such sets became popular as ostentatious christening gifts.
