Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman toilet spoon with a small, round cupped scoop. The top of the shaft is starting to taper and curve and is then missing due to old breaks. The top of the shaft may originally have had a loop to allow the spoon to be supended, perhaps as part of a toilet set. The spoon is 61.10mm in total length and the shaft is 5.16mm wide and roughly circular in cross-section. The shaft has four pairs of circumferential mouldings between which it is swollen. The scoop projects downwards from the base of the shaft at an approximately 45 degree angle and is 6.40mm in diameter. | 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: | 43
