Description: | Baluster seal knop from a copper-alloy ('latten') spoon handle. There is just a stub of the stem of the handle surviving, but enough to show that its cross-section was a flattened hexagon measuring 3.5 x 5 mm. The knop begins with an oval collar, and then the baluster part has a concave then convex curve. This has relief decoration of four longitudinal ribs with flattened areas in between filled with a worn relief design which may be a ring and dot. The baluster ends with a very narrow collar, and then there is a ball element which has been greatly flattened. This is decorated with longitudinal grooves; the waist above it also has longitudinal grooves. The knop then flares out into the seal top, which is perfectly circular, 13 mm in diameter, and completely flat on the upper side. On the underside it is decorated with a border groove. This type of spoon knop was common from the mid 16th to the mid 17th century. | 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: | 1550
