Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy spoon of probable post-medieval date. The bowl of the spoon is a sub-oval shape which has been flattened and broken across the lower portion of the bowl. This break is quite recent. The stem is integral to the upper edge of the bowl, and it is trapezoidal in section. Only a fragment of the stem remains, and the break of the stem is a recent break. On the reverse the stem and bowl junction forms a triangle. The spoon is a mid grey colour with a well developed but corroded patina which covers all surfaces. There are areas of light grey active laminating corrosion present on the stem break. The spoon measures 70.48mm long, 44.72mm wide and 4.94mm thick at the stem/bowl junction. It weighs 22.8g. The style of the spoon fits well with a number illustrated in Egan (Egan, G. 2005 Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition MoLAS Monograph 19) Nos. 526-577. The dating of these published examples varies but almost all date from the 16th century. A close parallel can be seen in example 551 dated between 1575 and 1700 by the ceramic assemblage.
