Gold Annointing Spoon Replica

This is a replica of the anointing spoon which is part of the coronation regalia.

The original spoon (held at the Tower of London) is made of gold and dates back to the 13th century, making it the oldest coronation piece that has been used at almost every coronation since 1661. In the coronation ceremony Holy oil is poured from the Ampulla, which is in the form of a gold eagle, into the spoon. The spoon is then applied by the officiating Bishop or Archbishop to the new sovereigns head, breast and palms.

Made from 22ct gold plated lead-free pewter. Presented in a clear box with an information label.
