Description: | Cast copper alloy spoon bowl length 60mm, width 51mm, thickness 2.5, weight 16.61g. The bowl corresponds with Ward Perkins fig shaped Ward Perkins, 1967), therefore the section of the bowl is narrow at the point where it attached to the stem, this continues to expand towards the forward edge, which is the widest point. At the top of the bowl, 7mm down from the stem is a makers mark of S and W divided by two oppositely orientated spoons. A spoon with this mark was found in London and although it came from a mixed context, is thought to date to the late 17th century. The stem has a rectangular cross section 7mm wide, 3mm thick, the stem is snapped and only 8mm long, this is an old break. The shape of the bowl is know from the 15th to 17th century, although a mid 16th-mid 17th century date is perhaps the most likely. The overall condition is fair, much of the original dark green patina remains. However, the underside and particularly the edges have suffered from corrosion resulting in a light green and brown layer. | 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: | 1400
