Description: | Copper alloy object similar in shape to a Roman nail cleaner, with a moulded circular section 'handle' which could have had a wire loop attachment. The almost flat tapering 'blade' is broken and decorated on both faces with a disjointed curvilinear design - slightly reminiscent of Arabic script. Surviving length 33mm, width 10mm, knob terminal diameter 5mm. One possibility is that this is the terminal of a spoon handle - the asymmetrical profile of the end of the 'blade' looks very like a spoon - and probably of early post-medieval date (examined by Ralph Jackson, Prehistoric & Roman, British Museum). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1540
