Description: | Complete copper alloy Post-Medieval seal top spoon. The stem is slightly flattened and culminates in a thin circumferential band, followed by a (possibly) foliate knop and then a rounded section decorated with longitudinal grooves, culminating in a flat 'seal top'. This section is so called because it resembles the seal matrices used during this period and earlier to make impressions in sealing wax. The bowl is 'fig' shaped. The spoon is in fairly good condition with a greenish patina and some pitting. Traces of silvering can be seen in places, particularly on the bowl. It is of late 16th to 17th century in date (Moore 2005, pp.7-10).Length: 153.15mm, Width: 25.51mm, diameter of seal top: 13.10mm, Weight: 50.7g
