Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy rat tail spoon handle of Roman date. This type of spoon is identifiable by the typical hook at the junction where the bowl begins. The handle of the spoon is long and narrow with four parallel shallow indentations close to the bowl end. The handle bends downwards at a right angle to begin the characteristic hook which is completed by a second, outward bend. This terminates at a break from which the bowl would once have extended.The spoon handle is 10.7mm long, 3.2mm thick and weighs 5.4g.A similar example can be seen in Crummy, p.70, fig.73, no.2014.
