Description: | A classical style copper-alloy figure which is probably a terminal knop from a late medieval to early post-medieval spoon. The piece measures 35.5mm high by 25mm wide and 5.7mm thick. It depicts a figure standing facing left (her left). The left arm extends outwards at a right angle from the body, whilst the right arm is held up so that the hand is just below the level of the head. The figure is a female, possibly Venus, and is unclothed apart from a garment draped around its waist and over its left arm. The feet are absent. The wear on the head, waist and right leg suggest that this was an object which was used quite a lot. It is therefore far more likely to be a spoon terminal than a Roman figurine. It is slightly corroded and weighs 7.81g.
