Description: | The cast copper-alloy terminal probably from a Roman spoon-probe. The object has a damaged concave sub-oval scoop, with the end bent both upwards and round. It is divided from the shaft by a triple collared moulding. The shaft beyond is now vestigial with a depression on its lower surface. The metal is brown in colour and slightly tarnished. The object measures 30.36mm long, and the shaft is 3.5mm in diameter. It weighs 1.5g. Roman spoon-probes can be found illustrated in Crummy (1983, 61; fig. 65). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
