Description: | A possible cast copper alloy spoon of medieval date. The incomplete object consists of a broken circular-sectioned rod adjacent to a flat incomplete leaf-shaped plate. This has been bent back round on itself so that it is nearly parallel with the rod-like element. One face of the flat section is decorated with three lines of lightly incised zigzagging flanked by a single line on each side. Copper alloy spoons are unusual in the medieval period, but a broadly similar example features in Ottaway and Rogers' 'Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Finds from Medieval York' (2002, pp. 2803-5, no. 14190). This example, which dates from the mid-14th century, is undecorated and has a slightly thicker handle but is otherwise similar in form. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
