| Description: | Larger scoop. Shallow cup/bowl which stand on a carelessly made low raised base, and have at one side a heavy projecting leg-handle, and at the opposite side a slight groove or hollow in the rim to serve as a channel for pouring. The thick handle, projecting from the rim is bent downard so that its end reaches approximately the same level as that of the base of the vessel, and thus acts as a sturdy support, which enables the scoop when set down to stand without leaning. There are four or five small holes at intervals along the handle- perhaps to facilitate baking, since the biscuit here is very thick. Also a larger hole at the end of the handle probably allowed the scoop to be suspended from a nail or peg. The rim is rather flat and set obliquely, resembing the rim of the cooking pots (see Z126 and Z127) | |
