finial
view
1. I really like the way the leaf finial on this piece is made with lots of bright-cut engraving and a twisty stem. The bowl has a "brown transfer" portrait of Columbus
The Mannheimer spoon is custom made in that the parts were assembled and soldered together. The handle is hand sawn and is probably the name of a fairgoer.
1. Finial of Columbus with outstretched left arm while the right arm points to a globe on a "twig" shaped handle. In the heart shaped bowl is an embossed picture of the "landing scene" which is also found on other spoons.
2. The heavy finial of Columbus is holding an anchor in his left hand while the right hand is on the head of a seated native American woman. The twisty handle has a mask at the bowl juncture. In this example the gold-plated bowl is engraved with "Genova"
