Description: | An incomplete cast pewter spoon of probable Post-Medieval, seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length 69.0mm, width 33.8mm and maximum thickness 12.5mm. Weight 26.16g.Most of the stem and part of the bowl are missing due to old breaks.The surviving part of the stem is about 9.0mm in length. It has a width of 9.0mm and is 5.0mm thick. The stem at the break is sub-triangular in cross-section. Part of the bowl, at the opposite end to the stem, is missing and the rim of the bowl is damaged and has a ragged edge. The surviving part of the bowl is sub-oval in plan and when complete, the end opposite the stem appears to have been more pointed than at the stem end. The bowl is quite deep and the surviving part is about 60.0mm in length and has a maximum width of 33.8mm. The inside of the bowl is plain and has an uneven surface. There is no indication that it had a maker's mark. The rear face of the bowl has a similar uneven surface and also has numerous scratch marks. However, these appear to have been created accidentally rather than being part of a design.This incomplete spoon is corroded and the surface has exfoliated in places. This is particularly noticeable on the rear face.
