Description: | Incomplete spoon of probable Roman date (AD 43 - AD 410). The handle is missing and the break is old. Length 67mm, maximum width 32mm and overall thickness 7mm. Weight 27.12g.
The shallow bowl is pear-shaped and just the stub of the handle has survived. The rim of the bowl is corroded in places and where the rim is intact it is slightly flattened. The inside of the bowl is coarse and pitted. Minute traces of tinning are present within the crevices. The rear face of the bowl is smooth and is tinned.
The piece is in good condition. | 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 |
