Description: | Tinned or silvered cast copper alloy spoon bowl dating from the 1st-4th century AD. The spoon bowl is worn and slightly bent, but intact. The handle is broken off. It was made from bronze and then silvered or tinned, remains of which can still be seen on the surface, especially on the inside of the bowl. According to Crummy (1983, 69, fig.73) this is a spoon bowl of Type 3 'Spoons with a mandolin shaped bowl'. Crummy writes that this type is often made in two pieces with bowl and handle connected by a tenon, but the examples from Colchester that she describes - like this example from Cumbria, are of this construction. Crummy suggests that the type was present throughout Roman occupation.
