Description: | A spoon with a narrow but long bowl. The spoon is made of copper-alloy and has been plated with silver. The stem of the spoon has been twisted. The stem itself is further decorated with a series of grooves. The bowl is integral to the stem. The bowl has been drawn down from the stem. The bowl measures 10.5mm in width and 0.9mm in thickness. The spoon is bent and the knop and part of the stem have broken off. The spoon (as bent measures 53.5mm) and the stem has a thickness of 5.2mm. The break is well worn and much of the silver plating has flaked off. It is also evident that the copper-alloy has started to corrode. Spoons from the Post Medieval period are extremely difficult to date, due to the fact that so few have been found in excavated contexts. However, due to the style of this find a date of circa 1600-1900 has been assigned. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
