Description: | A copper alloy spoon with a silver or white metal coating. The bowl and a short length of the stem survives. The bowl and stem have been cast in one piece. The bowl is circular with a diameter of 20mm and is 6.2mm deep. The inside of the bowl is almost conical though the outer surface is more rounded. The stem projects from the base of the bowl and is circular in section and tapers towards the broken end. There are three faint incised lines round the stem at the broken end. On the bottom of the bowl there is a U shaped groove on each side of the stem across the bowl, with an incised line beyond each groove. Much of the silvery coating survives, particularly in the grooves and inside the bowl.The spoon is probably Roman and is similar to, though deeper than, spoons on page 94-95 of Cool and Philo (1998). These parallels are from 1st and 2nd century contexts.
