Description: | A fragmentary survival of a post-medieval cast copper-alloy spoon. The object consists of the stem and its junction with the bowl; most of the bowl has been lost as has the terminal to the stem. The stem has a rectangular cross-section with rounded corners (Th.: 2.4mm). It narrows to a waist (5.8mm) between the break (6.5mm) and the junction (7.7mm). The transition between stem and bowl is smooth on the upper surface, with no obvious distinguishing marks as the bowl begins. On the reverse face there is a double rounded overlap as the bowl begins. The bowl is broken into an irregular shape. It is at an angle of around forty-five degrees to the stem. The spoon was seemingly made from copper-alloy and then tinned. As such it is likely to date from around the first half of the 17th century AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
