Description: | Part of the handle of a cast copper alloy, post medieval spoon of the 'seal knop' type, dating from the mid sixteenth to the mid seventeenth century. The upper end of the knop is a flat disc with the underside tapering to the central shaft. Below the disc is a broad, circular collar incised with a number of vertical grooves. Below this is another, narrower, plain collar and the shaft than expands into four tapering facets with rounded shoulders; each facet being decorated with a floral motif, perhaps a rose. Beneath the facets is yet another plain, circular collar and then the stub of a circular shaft. The upper side of the disc on this type of spoon may sometimes be engraved, but this example is plain. The handle has a dark brown patina. It is 25mm long and 13.1mm in diameter. It weighs 7.75gm.A numbre of similar spoon knops can be found on the database. See, for example: HAMP-6945F6, WILT-29CC88 and KENT-819EC325
