Description: | Post medieval copper alloy and silver spoon terminal of 18th century dateThe spoon was of 'apostle' form and is fragmentary (with a surviving length of 34.8mm and a weight of 5.8g) and comprises a copper alloy terminal surmounted on a silver handle. The terminal is heavily-corroded and appears to depict a standing figure (25.5mm long,9.0mm wide and 5.4mm thick) seemingly cloaked and with the right arm bent to the chest and may possibly have depicted the Virgin with Child. The figure is standing on a circular pedestal at the base (7.9mm diameter). The silver spoon handle is circular-sectioned and expands to a moulding below the terminal (6.2mm diameter), below which the sub-circular sectioned handle is broken (with a diameter of 3.2mm x 2.5mm). The copper alloy has a pale-brown patina and elsewhere has a pale-green corrosion.
