Description   

This spoon, from a set of three, was made for a male member of the Oelhafen family of Nürnberg. The family's armorial device, a rampant lion holding an oil pot, appears at the top of the handle. The inscriptions on this handle may be translated as “Trust in God and he will protect you”.
