Description: | An incomplete Roman spoon with the bowl surviving but incomplete and the shaft now missing due to an old break. The bowl is small and circular and measures c23.84mm in diameter, the offset shaft survives and including this the spoon is 31.77mm in surviving length. Identical round bowl metal spoons have been discovered at Colchester and date to the second half of the 1st century and the 2nd century. It is suggested that these spoons were perhaps used to eat eggs (Crummy 1983, p69-70, Fig 73, No, 2008).
