Description: | A cast copper alloy spoon with a seal top terminal. The spoon is complete but broken into two fragments. The bowl of the spoon is teardrop shaped, with broken, worn edges. The makers stamp is visible near the junction with the stem. It is possibly a lion with a pellet above and below, within a shield. The stem is oval in section and tapers slightly towards the terminal. The stem is broken approximately halfway along; the break is not particularly worn, but is not fresh. The stem is terminated by a flattened knop, diameter 13.85mm, with two collars, know as a 'seal top'. The object has a deep green patina and is slightly worn. It dates to the post medieval period.
