Description: | Spoon with circular bowl, made of a very soft white metal, probably silver, which can be marked with the fingernail. The handle is broken off short, and the remaining stub is circular or slightly oval in cross-section; it attaches to the base of the bowl, leaving the rim a little proud. The bowl has a break of curve about halfway up, which gives the effect of a circular groove. There is some wear on the edge of the bowl; if the spoon is held with the handle at 12 o'clock, the wear is from about 3 to 7 o'clock - just as would be expected if the spoon was used in the right hand. The diameter is 25.5 mm and the depth of the bowl is 6.5 mm. Spoons with circular bowls date from the second half of the first and the second century (Crummy 1983, 69).
