Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy object, probably a Roman toilet spoon. It is a shaft that is circular in section, with a thicker, expanded end that terminates in a point, and a thinner, tapering end at the other, where it breaks; the expanded end is similar to spoon-probes, and the point is similar to that of a ligula. The shaft has been bent at approximately 135 degree angle. At the bend, on the outer face, there are nine irregular incised lateral lines. In its current state, it measures 43.86 mm L x 3.82 mm DIA and weighs 3.72 g. Cf Crummy 1983, p 61
