Description: | A small spoon like copper alloy object of probable Post-Medieval date. It consists of a short stem with faceted surfaces that is trapezoidal in section and terminates in an old break. The main 'bowl' of the object is flared where it joins the stem and rounded at the other end. At the centre of the bowl is a circular depression that is quite well finished, although some concentric grooves and striations are visible, probably as a result of the manufacturing process. The underside of the bowl has no decoration. The object measures 37.21mm in length, 13.85mm in width, and weighs 2.37g.
Parallels for this object can be seen in similar examples from Suffolk (SF-4B8801) and London (LON-DBFDA1). Its exact function remains uncertain, although potentially it acted either as a small spoon for use with commodities such as salt, or alternatively it formed one component of a larger item. It is Post-Medieval and would therefore date to the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
