Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman spoon dating to the second or third century AD (c.100-300). Only the bowl of the spoon and the U-shaped bend linking the bowl to the missing stem, survive. The bowl is pear-shaped and slightly dished. There is a a triangular tapered ridge on the underside of the upper third of the bowl which tapers out slightly to form the U-shaped bend forming the neck of the spoon.According to Crummy (1988: 69) and de la Bedoyere (1989: 102), spoons with pear-shaped bowls were in use from the first half of the second century onwards.
