Description: | A fragment of a lead alloy (pewter) spoon, dating from the late medieval to early post-medieval period. The spoon fragment consists of a worn anthropomorphic knop, possibly a robed religious figure, and a section of the hexagonally facted stem. It is possible that this is the remains of an 'apostle' spoon, which were usually made in silver but often in the cheaper material of lead-alloy, as when new it would have appeared silver in colour. These spoons date from c. AD 1400-1600.
