Description: | Lead AlloyPossible Spoon Bowl. Cast object of lead alloy of thickness c.2mm, now rolled to form a crude tube with an overlapping seam. The tint of the metal and its degraded condition to this reporter suggest a possible association with the similarly decayed terminal of a spoon handle reported from nearby; this may be the bowl of a similar spoon. The crimping of reshaping of spoon bowls to permit their use as a funnel is occasionally reported. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.Length: 56mm, Width: 24mm, Thickness (overall): 8mm, Weight (with trapped soil): 16.47gms.
