Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy spatula of Roman date. The spatula is formed from a single piece of metal with a sub-oval section which swells slightly at the middle and flattens into a fantail shape at one end. The other end tapers and terminates in an extremely worn break. The spatula is bent as a result of its deposition. Spatulas of this type were likely to have been used for mixing paint or cosmetics.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The spatula is 54.3mm long (bent), 5.6mm wide, 2.9mm thick and weighs 9.7g.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database including Unique ID: GLO-4ACAE4 and SF-F88D34.
