Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy (latten) spoon, incomplete having lost its knop to old damage. The bowl is oval, generally rounded, but slightly more steeply at the stem end. There is a round maker's mark stamped on the front of the bowl near the stem. The stem is flat and connected straight to the edge of the bowl with no strengthening tail on the back. It is rectangular with rounded corners in cross-section. The bowl is 96.51 mm long, 43.21 mm wide and 12.18mm deep. The bowl shape is consistent with seal top spoons which have a long floruit from c. 1550 onwards. As such a wide 16th to 17th-century date can only be offered for this spoon. The metal has corroded to a red-brown colour with an internal white metal coating and patches of green corrosion product on the lower surface.
