Both front and back of the spoon is still predominately covered by the original tin-plating. It measures 36.58 mm in length, 32.45 mm wide and 1.10 mm thick. It weighs 3.7 g.The spoon bowl is a light grey colour, with an even surface patina.Similar shaped spoon bowls have been recorded on the PAS database including WMID-F70F42, dated to the Late Roman period (AD 350 to AD 400).
