Description: | Incomplete pewter (probably) spoon of Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (AD 1400 - AD 1600). Length 122mm. maximum width of bowl 38mm. Weight 18.66g.The bowl is broken and damaged and the handle is bent. If the handle was straightened, the total length of the surviving part of the spoon, including the bowl, would be about 130mm.The stem is hexagonal in cross-section and has an even width and thickness throughout its length, 5mm x 5mm. It terminates with an acorn knop which is 13mm in length and the acorn cup has a maximum diameter of 8mm. The end of the bowl is lost and the surviving part is 42mm in length and has a maximum width of 38mm. It has a maximum thickness of about 1.0mm. When complete, the bowl was probably fig-shaped (pear-shaped). The front face of the hexagonal stem is decorated with eleven saltire-shaped stamp marks. A similar, but slightly larger mark, has been stamped on the inside of the bowl, close to the handle.The spoon has a rough surface and is in fair condition.
