Description: | Flattish spatula-like object made from copper alloy, with the remains of a very slender handle (1 x 0.5 mm in cross-section) at one end of a pointed oval blade. The blade, or bowl, is slightly asymmetrical in shape and very slightly concave; it is now crumpled. The metal has a dark green patina with some of the metal showing through. It seems possible that this object was cut down from a teaspoon of 18th- or 19th-century date, although there is no definite characteristic of this period such as a rat-tail on the back of the bowl. Alternatively it is just possibly of Roman date.
