Description: | A copper-alloy spoon of probable 1st or 2nd century AD date.
The spoon, which appears to have been cast in one piece, has been heavily tinned or silvered. The bowl is circular in plan, has a pronounced curvature and is slightly corroded around the edges. The stem tapers into the underside of the bowl and is of oval section. The short length of the stem suggests that it may be incomplete, but this is by no means certain. The terminal is not of oval section, like the rest of the stem, but is faceted and comes to a point. Given this fact, it seems likely that the spoon was either deliberately shortend or that it was always this length.
The piece measures 46.2mm long, 21.1mm wide and 5.8mm high. The weight is 4.32g. | 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: | 1
