Description: | An incomplete lead-alloy (pewter) spoon of probable Post-Medieval date. The bowl of the spoon is a sub-oval shape with abreak at the lip. The stem is integral to the upper edge of the bowl, and is trapezoidal in section with a slight flaring outwards side-to-side just above the bowl before the stem shaft narrows in. Only a short length of the stem remains.There is no moulding on the underside wherer the bowl and stem meet. No marker's marks have been observed. The spoon is a mid grey colour with a well developed but corroded patina which covers all surfaces. The style of the spoon fits well with a number illustrated in Egan (Egan, G. 2005 Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition MoLAS Monograph 19) Nos. 526-577. The dating of these published examples varies but almost all date from the mid 16th-17th centuries, c.1550-1700.
