Description: | An incomplete bowl of a lead spoon, dating from the 12th to 13th century. The remains of this leaf-shaped spoon bowl would have been dished. The front would have been undecorated and the reverse was decorated. The decoration on this bowl is of a cross with the shafts and arms bearing cross-hatching and a central rectangular panel with a diagonal (or 'St Andrew's') cross.The cross in this circumstance is not thought to be of any religious significance, these spoons are said to be purely domestic. Brian Spencer commented on a similar spoon fragment found at Wansford, near Driffield, see Evans and Tomlinson, 'Excavations at 33-35 Eastgate, Beverley 1983-86' in Sheffield Excavation report No. 3, p143-7. Also see T. Brisbane in Biddle 1990, discussing no. 2625, a spoon with identical decoration to this example.
