Description: | A slightly corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy bowl from a Roman spoon. The bowl is of the mandolin-shaped form. The bowl has survived relatively well in terms of its form; there is a small break and bend inwards on the edge. It turns through ninety degrees into the handle. The lower surface of the bend features the beginnings of the tenon/handle which grows from a point. As with other examples of Roman spoon bowls of this form (see Crummy 1979, 70; refs. 2018-2019), this spoon has broken at this weak point of the junction between handle and bowl. Crummy (1979, 69) states that this type of bowl was produced throughout the Roman period. This example has a white-metal plating, as with one of the examples cited (ref. 2018). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
