Description: | The object a spoon bowl and fragment of the stem. The spoon probably dates to the Medieval to the early Post Medieval period, c. 1300 - c. 1650 (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Version 1.1) The spoon is made from cast copper alloy. In plan the spoon bowl is an oval shape, almost a fig shape as described by Egan Egan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London p. 246). In profile the bowl is sub-semi circular, the bowl is quite deep when compared to other Medieval spoon bowls which can be almost flat. The depth of this bowl in profile is 12mm. The bowl is damaged as the surface is undulating slightly. There is no maker's mark. The stem, which is integral to the bowl is rectangular in section. The stem tapers slightly to a broken edge. This break is not recent as the patina covers it. The surface of the owl and stem has patches of a well developed dark green patina. However, there are also patches of red copper corrosion and abrasion. The bowl and stem together measure 87.23mm long and 50.23mm wide across the bowl. It weighs 15.28g.
