Description: | A cast silver toothpick/ earscoop with sickle shaped pick emerging from the body of a stylised dragon. The pick is slightly bent so it is no longer flush with the body of the implement. Midway along the upper side of the dragon's body are the remains of what may have been a suspension loop, no longer intact. From the rear of the dragon emerges a spoon shaped earscoop; the earscoop is the same width as the body of the dragon and the concave feature of the scoope is on the same side as the flat surface of the implement. The dragon's body has been marked with incised lines on the body, and the head with circular marks depicting scales.The reverse is flat and there is a possible makers mark with the initials 'FR' stamped in the area of the head.
