Description: | An incomplete silvered copper alloy Roman spoon bowl dating from the late first or second century AD. The bowl is circular, concave and undecorated on the interior. The exterior of the bowl is decorated with ten stems of punched dots, each with a scroll like terminal radiating from the centre of the reverse. The handle is circular in cross section; it flattens where it is attached underneath the bowl and terminates just beyond the centre on the reverse of the bowl. Where the handle meets the bowl edge it is decorated with incised diagonal lines. The handle is broken just after it leaves the bowl. The interior has retained much of its silvering and there is a medium green patina around the edge; the exterior has a dark-medium green patina with remnants of silvering still visible. Another example of this spoon bowl may be found on the database at PAS record ID: PAS-AD8F32. This spoon can be classified as a Crummy Type 1 and a similar example is illustrated in Crummy (1983, p. 70).Length: 27.9mm; Width: 23.6mm; Thickness: 6.1mm; Weight: 4.24g
