Spoon
A spoon made of a skull of a fox (?) or a roe deer (defenition of Klementiev A). The item has a lenticular shape in plan. The reservoir has a natural relief from inner and outer sides. Cranial sutures are clearly seen from an outer convex surface. Longitudinal edges are cut neatly. The ends are sharpened symmetrically. One end (frontal part of the skull) is smoothly blunted, the other one (pariental part of the skull) was probably a handle i.e. it is more sharpened and bifurcated along the cranial suture.
