Swimmer Spoon

This toiletry item, which belongs to a well-known group of spoons with a swimmer, probably served as an tomb offering.
The graceful young women adorned with jewels and wig reflects all the refinement of the 18th dynasty.
The spoon that she holds in her extended arms is decorated with an aquatic motif evoking the life-giving freshness of water and vegetation, which may have been a guarantee of eternal youth.
