Description: | Only a portion of the spoon remains, the bowl, made from cast copper alloy. The bowl is incomplete and the edges are abraded, therefore the original shape of the bowl, in plan, is not certain. The upper edge has an integral portion of the stem, but not enough remains to comment on the detail of the stem in section. The bowl is concave, but quite shallow in depth. There is no maker?s mark. The surface of the bowl is abraded and has red copper corrosion. The bowl measures 44.13mm long and 35.78mm wide across the bowl. It weighs 5.26g.
The dating of the spoon bowl cannot be certain, but the overall shape of the bowl, section of the stem and shallowness of the bowl may suggest a late Medieval or early Post Medieval date. | 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
