Description: | Fragment of a Post Medieval cast lead alloy spoon, 1500-1700 AD. The find consists of the knop and upper stem from the handle of a pewter spoon. The sub-triangular knop has a rectangular section that is 1.4mm thick. This thickens to an oval section measuring 2.9mm thick as it develops into the stem of the spoon. The knop has moulded decoration in the form of a central stylised shield with decorative pellets inside and around it. The shield contains two vertical lines that divide it into three columns; these vertical lines continue out of the lowest point of the shield some distance down to the stem. The edge of the knop's surface is decorated with a radiate border of small diagonal lines. The crude decoration on the spoon knop is off-centre from the object. The knop itself has a flaw which projects from the right side of the upper edge. The reverse of the knop is undecorated. Dimensions: length: 51.8mm; width: 20.3mm; thickness: 4.0mm; weight: 11.68g.
