Text from the British Museum information board: 'Silver-gilt spoons - A pair of silver-gilt strainer-spoons with handles in the form of dolphins. Each depicts a bearded man in the bowl, probably the sea-god Oceanus (also shown on the Mildenhall Great Dish, case 22). They probably served solid foodstuffs floating in a liquid, maybe cheese in brine or fruit floating in water. The other spoon shows a marine beast, half-cat, half-fish. It seems to belong with the other two. P&E P. 1994 4-8 62-64'
