Description: | Incomplete middle Saxon sheet spoon, top of stem missing. The upper part of the stem is of flat section and is decorated with seven ring-and-dots set within engraved lines running parallel with the sides. It tapers towards the twisted lower part. The almost flat, and the pointed oval or lozengiform bowl is decorated towards the top with five ring-and-dots in a roughly cruciform arrangement. A spoon from East Rudham (HER 39531) has a twisted stem and similar bowl decoration, while another from a Late Saxon context in Thetford (HER 5847) again has the same decoration but a straight stem (EAA 22, fig.112 no.48). Length >124mm. Width of bowl 21mm. Maximum width of stem 6.5mm. 8th - 9th century.
