Description: | A worn incomplete lead or possibly pewter possible spoon handle, although no parallel could be found. The object is hollow and only the front face survives, this is semi-cylindrical in section. The outer face is moulded and there is a birds head with its beak on its breast and a circular moulding around the head, below this there is a cross shaped moulding on the breast. The style of the cross implies that this object could be later medieval or post medieval in date (Edward Martin pers. Comm 2007). The object could have been the hollow handle of a utensil, possibly a spoon. It measures 30.61mm in surviving length, 9.87mm in width and 11.45mm in surviving thickness. | Subjects: | handle | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
