ملاحظات
Major R. Murdoch Smith discusses the Iranian town of Abadeh (between Isfahan and Shiraz) as being the main centre of Persian wood carving during the period of 1800-1900. This town was famous for its elaborately carved spoons (qashuq) and small boxes, all made of either pear or lime wood, and carved with a common pocket-knife.

Carved pearwood
Fiziksel açıklama
The shaft is cylindrical in form and fashioned from a single piece of varnished pearwood with a curved handle, carved with registers of floral motifs, birds, and vertical panels of black painted Persian calligraphy. The curved upper portion is carved with bids, foxes and a lion terminating in a bird (duck) with a splayed open mouth and red beads inserted into its eyes.
