    The whole of the front stem depicts a snake or serpent with little mice nearby and the bowl of the spoon displays a cherry blossom . The reverse side of the bowl has a shield (possibly with a good luck phrase),"Nagasaki" for the city ,"84" for silver content , a Japanese symbol inside a shield and two flowers in bloom . Ever the Japanese attention to detail and humor.
