This silver spoon is marked with only a makersmark. I don't know where to search, because the mark is quite unclear.
A new challenge. Hopefully somebody can help. Thanks in advance!

Frisian ornamental or memorial spoon, with the personification of motherly love finial.
The maker's mark appears to me to be perhaps
H.I , used by the Leeuwarden silversmith
Hendrik
Joekes.
W. koonings, De keuring van goud en zilver tijdens het Koninkrijk Holland, drawing of Hendrik Joekes mark in 1807
He was born in Leeuwarden around 1766, the son of Jacob Joekes. Hendrik, married Fokje Aedes Bakker (died 23 July 1812, 43 years old) on 9 May 1790. Hendrik stopped working the same year his wife died.
