The repousse - drop-shaped ladle is decorated with masks at the join to the handle. The hexagonal handle is engraved with the letters MB at the back, and a TB etched later, with a cross springing from a heart of flowers. There is also an engraved inscription on the handle: Sprawyedlivi nyeboisye srogoscy. The finial is in the form of the head and shoulders of a lady dressed in Renaissance clothing.
