Description: | The spoon bowl is a fig-shape (see ref.) which has a slightly flattened end and tapering upper portion. The bowl has abraded edges. The bowl is slightly concave. The stem is integral to the bowl. The stem is flat, rectangular cross-sectioned. Only a short portion of the stem remains, the upper surface of it is decorated with an incised cross between two parallel grooves. The reverse of the stem is corroded. The corrosion continues onto the upper portion of the bowl on the reverse in a triangular shape. On the upper portion of the bowl there is also a circular-sectioned rivet is visible on the reverse and front face. The rivet and corrosion suggests that another component was fixed on the reverse of the bowl and stem, perhaps to strengthen this join and the stem. The bowl has been broken in half, and since glued together. The item has a mid green patina. | 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: | 1066
