Description: | a probable Roman copper alloy probe terminal. It is incomplete due to old breaks, and consists of an oval-shaped terminal and length of shaft, not enough of which survives to determine whether the instrument was part of a double-ended spoon-probe. It measures 39.76mm in surviving length and 5.35mm in width. The shaft is circular in section near the terminal, and flattens out as it tapers towards its broken end. The object weighs 1.73g. Examples of spoon-probes from Colchester are illustrated in Crummy,1983, fig.65. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
