Description: | An incomplete and damaged post-medieval lead alloy (possibly pewter) spoon, consisting of the (incomplete) oval spoon bowl and a stump of the stem only. It measures 75.46x44.35x1.13mm and weighs 18.83g.The bowl is missing part of its edge and has a patch of metal degradation to the reverse, visible as a crazed and flaking patch, possibly the result of contact with fire. The base of the stem, where it extends onto the bowl, it is pointed-oval in shape. Within this area is a raised lozenge outline possibly with the raised initials R (or B) O inside.The stem measures 10.45x4.21mm in cross section at the break and survives to length of 6.10mm.A later post-medieval date is suggested (with thanks to Kate Sumnall and David Williams, pers. comms. February 2015), perhaps in the 18th or 19th century.
