Description: | A Post Medieval bone scoop (18th century). This scoop has been manufactured from a sheep's metapodial. The distal end of the bone forms the handle with the articular condyles left intact. A hole has been drilled horizontally through both condyles probably so the scoop could be suspended from a length of string or similar. The proximal end is cut off and about half the length of the shaft exposed by removing one of the walls. The cutting extends to form decorative points on both sides of the upper end of the scoop. The cut end of the wall has been squared off. The exposed end has been shaped into a rounded cutting edge. There is some polishing/wear on all the cut surfaces. Except for the decorative points of the upper end of the scoop, there is no decoration on this example.Dimensions: length: 92.90mm; width: 23.10mm; thickness: 9.21mm; weight: 13.04g.
