Evoquant un personnage féminin stylisé, cette cuiller-pilon se distingue par sa belle ordonnance géométrique. Jouant sur une lecture à trois dimensions, le manche oblique fait glisser le regard en profondeur jusqu'à l'intérieur du cuilleron, tandis que la base conique est sculptée en décroché par rapport à l'axe du manche. Très belle patine brun rouge.
