Description: | The spoon is only fragmentary. The knop, terminal of the stem, remains. It has been made from cast copper alloy. Geake (2001) describes these spoons as dating to the early Post Medieval period.
The knop is a baluster seal type. It has a oval disc as the upper platform. This disc is the widest portion of the knop at 13mm wide. Below this disc is moulded decoration, formed by inverted conicals with vertical ribbing. The knop tapers to a blunt point at the lower terminal. In length the knop is 35.2mm, and it weighs 9.23g.
The surface of the knop is corroded, and there are traces of red copper corrosion. | 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: | 1500
