These polished and decorated bronze utensils are good evidence of luxurious dining rituals in antiquity. The ladles were used to serve wine at banquets, or for making libations (offerings) of wine to the gods on sacrificial occasions. The delicate spoon, manufactured by soldering separate pieces together, would have been used for stirring, measuring and eating.
