Description: | The bowl from a copper-alloy spoon probably from a Roman toilet article or surgical instrument. The bowl is a long, thin oval, truncated at the tip and broken at the shaft end. It features a longitudinal groove on its lower surface. It is relatively shallow, reaching a height of 3.05mm. Such a bowl may have come from a toilet spoon or spoon-probe; illustrations of both can be found in Crummy (1983, 60-61). | Subjects: | Spoon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
