Ear spoon / ear cleaner pendant based on an original from Karelia (today in Russian and Finnish territory), 8th - 10th century. Brass, approx. 1.4 x 7.8 cm. The design is one-sided, the back is smooth.
From antiquity to the Middle Ages, ear spoons, together with tweezers and small awls (as toothpicks and/or nail cleaners), formed what is known as toilet implement. However, the items also all appear as individual finds.
