Description: | Cast copper alloy spoon, length 45mm, width 6mm, thickness 11mm, weight 2.64g. Almost the entire bowl is missing, only the section immediately attached to the stem remains. The first neck of the spoon is projects 11mm upwards from the bowl, there in a notch 2.5mm deep, 1.5mm wide in the forward edge, the stem then projects backwards from the top of the neck, the stem is straight and has a rectangular cross section that gently narrows to a point at the terminal. The overall condition is fair with a mid green patina. 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.
