Description: | A Pair of Copper Alloy SpoonsTwo spoons similar in size and shape were found, but with different decoration inside the bowls of the spoons. Each spoon has a very shallow bowl of concavo-convex profile, pointed at one end and rounded at the other, where there is a flat straight plain handle. The handle has a rounded end and figure of eight profile seen from above. Both spoons are made from single sheets of metal. One spoon has an engraved design of a cross with a small circle highlighting where the two lines of the cross meet at the deepest part of the spoon. The other spoon is plain. Both spoons are damaged, probably in the past. The plain spoon has an irregular shaped tear on one side and some other damage. The other spoon has a tear in the side of the spoon near the handle as well as some other damage. The plain spoon bowl has an area of polished patina, probably caused by the spoons being deposited with the decorated one resting on top of the plain spoon (as described as being found by the finder).These spoons belong to a well known, if rare, type of Iron Age object.
