Cette cuiller-sculpture se distingue par le contraste saisissant entre l'immensité proportionnelle du réceptacle et l'élégance de la femme - membres fluides dont les lignes sont rythmées par les contrecourbes subtiles des articulations, port hiératique de la tête, dignité de l'expression - l'ensemble parfaitement équilibré par le mouvement arrière du corps. Patine caramel, noircie sur la coiffe.
