The use of Spoons as a musical instrument was probably foreshadowed by the similar use of two animal bones.
Koutalakia (κουταλάκια) is the Greek name for Spoons. Made of wood they are often beautifully sculpted or painted. They can be held by dancers, and are played by clicking two together like castanets (sometimes a pair in each hand).
Spoons are assigned the number 111.14 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
1 = Idiophones. Sound is primarily produced by the actual body of the instrument vibrating, rather than a string, membrane, or column of air.
11 = Struck Idiophones. These idiophones are set in vibration by being struck.
111 = Directly Struck Idiophones. The player himself executes the movement of striking; whether by mechanical intermediate devices, beaters, keyboards, or by pulling ropes, etc.
111.1 = Concussion Idiophones or clappers. Two or more complementary sonorous parts are struck against each other.
111.14 = Concussion vessels or vessel clappers.
