Description: | Fragment of a lead-alloy (pewter) spoon of probable Post-Medieval date. Only the upper curved edge of the bowl of the spoon survives with a approximately half of stem attached. The stem is integral to the upper edge of the bowl, and is trapezoidal in section. There is no moulding on the underside where 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 a second more complete example found nearby (DENO-726131) and 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.
