Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy spoon stem and seal-top knop, 16th to 17th century. Only part of the circular sectioned stem has survived leading to the seal-top knop. The knop consists of a reel, a spherical bead and is capped by a flattened disc similar to the apostle??s nimbus. The initials of the owner or donor could be pricked or engraved onto this disc but trace of this was found on this particular knop. The break edge is worn, and it has a mid-green patina with abraded areas showing a lighter green. It measures 40.84mm long, the knop has a diameter of 2.62mm and it weighs 6.6g in total. Similar seal-top spoons can be found in Moore, S. 1987. Spoons 1650-1930, pages 4-5, and Bailey, G. 1995. Detector Finds 2, pages 83-85, ref. 14-16. | Subjects: | Seal Top | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Pooley, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
