Description: | Copper alloy Spoon. Cast figurative terminal from a small spoon, depicting a robed and bearded male figure holding an open book set on a collared pedestal. Though not haloed, the figure relates to the Apostle Spoons of the 16th to mid 17th centuries. The use of copper alloy for a spoon in an English context would be more likely after 1650, as before this date the manufacture of spoons in copper alloy was effectively opposed by the Goldsmith's craft guild. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1700.Length: 32.3mm, Width: 8.9mm, Thickness: 2.6mm, Weight: 2.78gms.
