Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman spoon with the bowl and part of the handle surviving. It has a pear-shaped bowl which measures 33.7mm long by 19mm wide across the middle and is approximately 4mm deep. The metal is thin (0.4mm) and there are two holes where the copper alloy has corroded. Much of the inside of the bowl still has a white metal coating intact, whilst on the underside, only black oxidised traces of this coating remain. The edges of the bowl are rough, due to corrosion. The handle is circular in section and extends from the narrow end of the bowl. The handle measures 8.3mm long by 2.4mm diameter and the spoon weighs 2.51g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
