Description: | A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy spoon of Roman date. This style of spoon appears to have been used in Britain from the early 2nd century onwards (de la Bédoyère; 1989; pp. 101).The bowl is sub-oval in plan (coming to a slight point at the distal end), shallow and is made from very thin metal. The upper surface has been decorated with three longitudinal lines of punched ring-and-dot marks. A stepped, U-shaped attachment joins the bowl to the handle. The handle is rectangular in section where it joins the U-shaped attachment, but is circular in section along the rest of its length. The end of the handle is missing and a small portion of the bowl has also been lost; the remainder of the object is bent.It measures 94.9mm long, by 34.9mm wide (bowl) and 10.4mm high; the weight is 8.37g.
