Description: | An incomplete copper alloy ladle or large spoon. The bowl is quite narrow and may be described as 'fig shaped'. The stem of the ladle is decorated with incised design comprising two longitudinal lines with curved chevrons between. In the centre of the stem the lines are broken by a lozenge shaped design with knops on each corner and filled with straight lines at a c.100 degree angle.The crown of the ladle, which is incomplete, widens out from the neck and may have been circular in form. There is a triangular attachment point both here and in to the bowl of the ladle, suggesting that the stem was cast as a seperate element then attached to the crown and bowl. The reverse of the ladle is plain and undecorated.The ladle has a maximum length of 91.29mm. The neck measures 11.93mm wide and is 2.3mm thick. The bowl has a maximum diameter of 51.69mm and the ladle has a total weight of 37.3gms.
