Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy spoon handle dating to the Post Medieval period, circa 1700-1800. Approximately half the original length of the spoon handle survives as a result of an old break. The spoon handle is sub rectangular in plan with a square section. The terminal of the spoon handle has a collared globular knop which narrows to form a neck which leads to the handle. One side of the spoon handle is heavily decorated with a moulded, sunken cartouche. Within the cartouche are 2 raised longitudindal, zig-zagging lines. Another side of the handle has a raised area next to the necked terminal. Inside the raised area is a circular hollow. The other two sides of the handle are plain and undecorated. The surfaces of the handle have an even mid green patina, and are worn as a result of movement in the plough soil. No dimensions available.
