- Two sterling silver souvenir spoons:(a) a silver souvenir spoon (13.5 cm x 2.5 cm wide) with a frontal view of an Indigenous Chief on the handle, looking into the distance towards viewer’s right, with his hand above his eyes. He is wearing a loin cloth and a full, long headdress, below that, an enamelled multi-coloured maple leaf crest is soldered onto the handle. The back of the spoon shows the back of the man, same stance, although no crest, so his whole body is in view.
