Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy spoon of Roman date. The handle is incomplete and square in section, and tapering slighty towards each break. The bowl is missing. At the bowl end is an open loop extending the upper edge. The loop is almost square in plan, with a flattened upper terminal. This section is presumed to allow the spoon to balance onto the edge of a vessel, although this is nor proven and on later spoons may simply be a decorative element. The shank is 3mm at its thickest, and is 42mm long. The loop extends 5mm from the upper surface of the shank, making the whole object 9mm wide.
