Description: | Fragment of a cast pewter spoon with the base of the bowl and about half of the stem remaining. The bowl would have originally been oval in plan or 'fig-shaped' and there is an incomplete 'rat tail' on the back of the bowl which is at least 34 mm long, and is an extension of the stem. The remains of the stem extends 42 mm beyond the bowl. The stem is lozenge-shaped in section and is 9 mm in diameter at the bowl and 8 mm in diameter at the broken end. There are two parallel grooves on the inside of the bowl, but this does not appear to be a mark, and several gashes on the back of the stem which are due to damage.Egan (2005) illustrates similar tin alloy spoons with substantial stems and 'rat tails' on page 114, Fig.104, Nos.549 & 551, which date from the late 16th to the 17th century.
