Copper alloy seed drill spoon. A small cast spoon with a rounded bowl with a flat border and a low concave centre, with a lightly tapered stem of lentoid or rhomboid section.

Seed drill spoons are more usually larger, more robust and with bowls of hemispherical form. This may be from an earlier, and possibly man-portable and hand-operated, version of drill.
