A very unusual custom made harp spoon. This spoon is exceptionally well made and beautifully decorated with a very unusual shaped bowl. Also note the small guitar spoon. Neither of these pieces are marked, but they are obviously of magnificent design.

The lyre is of ancient origin and believed to be from Asia. I am unsure of the origin and metal of this spoon, but suspect it is bronze from Persia or Iraq. The little pieces of turquoise add a nice touch to this spoon. (no marks)

Breman Musicians

A story by the Grimm brothers tells a tale of four pet animals who were owned by musicians, but were abandoned because of their age. They met on the road to Bremen and made "strange and joyful music". (donkey, dog, cat, rooster). A statue has been erected to this story and it stands in the city hall.
