Description: | The cast copper alloy knop from a baluster seal spoon of post medieval date. The knop is 31.71mm in length and has a flat oval top, 13.05mm by 11.09mm. Below this, the knop narrows quickly, then flares out again into a sub-rounded section, about 5mm in height, with a slight ridge around the centre. The object then flares out again slightly and then tapers for about 5mm. It then flares suddenly into an upside down cone shape, about 10mm in height. Below, there is another sub-rounded section, 2.5mm in height, and below this the stem is broken. The knop has a similar form to an example from London, no. 570 in Egan's 'Material Culture in an Age of Transition' (2005, p. 116) albeit without the vertical grooves. The London spoon dates from c. 1600-1750. | Subjects: | Baluster Seal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
