Description: | Fragment of a Roman tinned copper alloy probable cosmetic spoon, a barley-sugar twisted shank broken at both ends. The cross-section begins to narrow before one break and to straighten out and flatten before the other. These changes suggest that this is more likely to be a cosmetic spoon (Crummy 1983, fig. 64 no. 1907) rather than a spoon-probe (ibid. fig. 65). A few small specks of tin-coating remain. Extant length 70mm. Diameter 3mm. Mid 1st - 4th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
