Description: | Cast copper alloy spoon, length 46mm, width 3mm, thickness 10mm, weight 2.5g. Almost the entire bowl is missing with only that section immediately attached to the stem remaining. The first part of the stem is curved upwards so that it forms 35% of a circle the rest of that stem is straight and has a rectangular cross section that gently narrows to a point at the terminal. The overall condition is poor, corrosion has pitted the surface there are patches. Mid green patchy. Similar spoons have been excavated from Colchester where two examples have been dated to the first half of the 2nd century. Therefore a 2nd century date is most likely.
