Description: | Part of the handle of a copper-alloy spoon, ending in a large 'strawberry' knop. The stem is a flattened hexagon in shape, 5 mm wide and 3 mm thick, and the break is fairly worn. The knop is large and resembles a raspberry more than a strawberry. It is also flattened so that its cross-section is a pointed oval rather than a circle; the maximum dimensions are 15 x 11 mm. The knop is separated from the stem by a double collar. Surviving total length, 64 mm. Spoons with 'strawberry' knops are fairly rare and appear to be mainly of 16th and 17th century date.
