Description: | Silver spoon, complete although bent and damaged. Late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Estimated overall length 103mm, estimated width of the bowl 36mm, width of the stem (handle) 1.5mm. Weight 7.75g. The spoon has a plainly rounded terminal on the front of which are the crudely incised serifed capital initials WTH. The W is centrally placed above the letters TH. On the rear of the stem, about 20mm from the terminal, is a hallmark, a lion passant. The hallmark may have originally consisted of more features which are no longer visible due to wear. The bowl is a shallow oval-shape. On the rear side of the bowl, at the top, is a leaf-drop which extends about 11mm down the length of the bowl. Overall, the spoon, appears to be very worn and has a large number of scratches on all surfaces. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
