Description: | An incomplete bone spoon handle of Early-medieval date. The object is sub-rectangular in profile and ovate in section with an expansion to one end which represents the remains of the spoon bowl. The other end terminates in a worn break. The upper surface of the object is decorated with three sets of four linear incisions set roughly centrally along the length of the handle. One set is oriented transversely across the handle with the other two sets running diagonally across each other resulting in a cross hatched grid where the two overlap. These two are slightly to one side of the transverse group, towards the bowl end of the spoon. A second area of decoration can also be determined at the broken end and takes the form of a double chevron. This is likely to be incomplete due to the break. The reverse is smooth and undecorated.
