This miniature silver shovel, part of a set, was crafted by George Manjoy between 1690 and 1691. The shovel features a twisted handle with a small, round finial at the top. The shovel's blade is shaped like a small, flat scoop. This miniature shovel, part of a larger set of utensils, was likely intended for decorative purposes rather than practical use. Such sets were popular in the late 17th century as status symbols. The shovel's exquisite craftsmanship, with its intricate twisting and ornate handle, exemplifies the refined artistry of this period.
