| Object Number: | 3 | |
| Description: | Bronze "spatula," almost spoon-like. Slightly curved and concave, and decreases slightly in width towards the handle end. Two rivets, preserved in place 0.013 m. apart and offset from the longitudinal axis, suggest that 0.030 m of the length was occupied by the handle, presumably wooden. Blegen also adds that there "are no traces of weathering or wearing to indicate whether or not the handle was of the peculiar pointed shape so well represented from the Cyclade; but the implement itself is obviously very closely related to the spatulae recovered by Tsountas in such numbers from the early Cycladic graves at Chalandriane," who suggested that the objects may have been used in some process of personal adornment (Blegen 1928, p. 182). | |
