Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy spoon of Post Medieval date, probably mid sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century (AD 1550 ? AD 1650). Length 62mm, width 48mm and about 1.0mm thick. Weight 25.05g. The stem is missing and the break has occurred at its junction with the bowl which is shallow and drop shaped. The break is old. The bowl has two old fractures and a small portion of the lower part of the bowl is broken and missing. This break is also old. On the rear of the bowl, around the ?V?-shaped join (where the break occurred) are a number of file marks. A maker?s mark in the bowl, near the stem end, is in the form of a circle which is about 4mm in diameter and contains the letters "IW" or possibly "PW". Above and below the letters is a single pellet. The piece is in good condition and has a matt mid-green patina overall. | 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
