Description: | An incomplete, small cast copper-alloy object with a (broken) handle and bowl: possibly an apothecary spoon/measure of post-medieval date. The bowl is broadly semicircular in plan with a gradual curve towards the stem of the handle. There is shallow circular dishing within the bowl's upper surface suggesting that it might have been used for small measures rather than consumption. The stem is twisted to give a rope effect; it is sub-circular in cross-section. The object has a dark grey patina consistent with a probable post-medieval date. Cf. LON-DBFDA1 on this database. A photograph of a parallel was published in the 'Searcher' (Issue 168, August 1999, 10; ref. 168/5), showing that this is a known object type rather than a one-off; see also NCL-108D56, HAMP-B687F3 on this database. | Subjects: | Apothecary | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
