This genuine and rarely found spoon has a nice patina – and is to be enjoyed as a nice historical piece of ancient Indonesian history. It will also make an interesting gift. For hanging purposes it has a small hole at the end of the handle.
The Majapahit Empire of Eastern Java flourished during the 13th-16th centuries. It was a powerful and wealthy maritime Empire that controlled most of the trade routes through the Strait of Malacca and the Java Sea.
Most Majapahit terracotta artefacts are from Trowulan, East Java. Majapahit tartefacts of my collection have in the main been incidental finds by farmers agricultural activities – or unearthed by diggers who dig pits panning the alluvial soil for gold.
This ancient spoon was found in Trowulan, the locality of the former Majapahit Empire. It is in good condition considering the age of the artefact. Please view all of the photos with respect to its condition.
