Description: | A copper-alloy spoon terminal of post-Medieval date.The terminal is broken at both ends. A small moulding at the top would probably have been surmounted by a knop. Below this moulding, the spoon is of flat section, the sides converging towards the point of the break. On both the upper and lower surfaces of the spoon there is a crudely incised pattern of curved lines. The surfaces also have a dull grey appearance, but examination of the lower break reveals there to be a copper-alloy core, which has been heavily tinned or silvered. The piece measures 20.8mm long, 10mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The weight is 1.7g.Until recently thought to be Roman strap-ends, complete examples of this spoon type have recently been identified within the Museum of London's collection (A10625 and A3934). Other examples have been recorded on the PAS database - see, for example, LVPL-C8F297 and SUSS-BC3807.
