This delicate toilet instrument features a young woman with her hair flowing down her shoulders. The girl is wearing a long dress that reaches her ankles, cinched at the waist by a belt. The curved end was likely used as a spatula or spoon for cleaning the ears, while the lower part ended in a small file.
