Description: | A small spoon used for measuring gold dust. This would likely have been part of an individual’s collection of items used for transactions in gold dust, alongside a scoop for cleaning gold dust, a stone for checking the purity of the gold, a chicken feather for collecting finer dust, and a selection of weights.
