Description: | Post-medieval baluster seal spoon end. A cast copper alloy spoon top with baluster decoration and a remnant of the stem. The distal end is flat-topped and sub-circular in shape (the seal element of the term). Below this it constricts to a concentric rib with five rectangular indentations below. The spoon ton then widens out again into a rounded knop with fine, vertical, cut indentations (slightly off-set to the wider ones above). The end then narrows again to an hour-glass shape before terminating above the stub of the stem. From what remains of the stem, it appears to have had a copper alloy wire core running through a probably pewter stem.
Date: Post-medieval. Late 16th to 17th century
Dimensions: 27.32 mm x 13.69 mm top diameter (narrowing to 2.4 mm at the break point).
