Description: | A fragment from the handle of a post-medieval cast lead-alloy (lead-tin) spoon. The fragment is the corroded and abraded handle terminal. The terminal is expanded (W.: 21.55mm), and tapers towards the break (W.: 13.3mm). The lower surface is plain; the upper surface features moulded decoration in low relief. The decoration is in the form of an inverted symmetrical foliate design with two side lobes gathered together either side of a central lobe. There is a moulded ball to each side of the point at which the design is gathered. There are further small pellets between the lobes and a moulded U-shaped curve above.This fragment dates to the late 17th/early 18th-century. The piece is generally grey in colour with areas that have corroded to an lighter colour. The sides have started to split slightly and the fragment is bent upwards at the point of break.
