Description: | Incomplete copper alloy spoon of probable Post Medieval date. Length 72mm, width across the bowl 37mm, thickness of bowl 0.4mm. Weight 11.99g. The spoon consists of a complete bowl, now bent and folded and part of the stem (37mm in length) which has an old break. The shallow bowl has a rounded end and tapers towards the stem. In plan, prior to being bent, the bowl would have been pear-shaped. The stem is bent rearwards from the plane of the bowl and is sub-rectangular in cross-section, about 4mm x 2mm near the bowl and tapering slightly towards the old break. At the front of the stem are three parallel reeds as decoration. On the front, at the junction of the stem and bowl, is a lozenge-shaped motif which appears to have had moulded decoration, although, due to surface corrosion it is not possible to describe this decoration. The rear of the stem is undecorated. There is no evidence of a maker's mark. The metal is a reddish brown colour overall with small patches of a dark 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
