Description: | A silvered cast copper alloy seal top spoon of post-medieval date. The spoon measures 168mm in length and weighs 39g. The oval bowl measures 63mm by 49.5mm. There are patches of the original silvering over much of the inside and part of the exterior of the oval bowl. The stem has a flat oval cross-section. It tapers gradually from the bowl end and terminates in a baluster seal knop. A maker's mark in the form of a Tudor rose within a double circular border has been stamped within the bowl, adjacent to the stem. This spoon probably dates from c. 1600-1650, based on a number of dated parallels in the collections of the Somerset County Museum. | Subjects: | Baluster Seal Top | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
