Description: | Fragment of a cast lead alloy (pewter) spoon handle, probably from a late Medieval - Post Medieval spoon. The fragment is the lower part of the handle and includes the attachment to the bowl although the bowl and rest of the handle is missing. It is D shaped in section, oval with a flattened back. It widens to the attachment with the bowl and is plain at the back, flattening down to the bowl on the front. There are no visible maker's marks. It is now 50.1mm long, 5.9mm by 5.9mm at the upper end and 9.3mm by 6.8mm at the bowl end, it weighs 12.90 grams.The handle terminal and bowl are normally the diagnostic features on such spoons but the handle shape and lack of a rat-tail where the handle joins the bowl may suggest a later Medieval to Post Medieval date, c.AD 1350-1675. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
