Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Medieval or Post Medieval apostle spoon, dating from AD 1400-1600. The object comprises the uppper portion of the stem of the spoon. At the top of the stem is a moulded knop in the shape of a human figure, possibly an apostle, however, the details are too worn to discern which apostle may be depicted. The figure appears to be draped and has his hands clasped in front of him. Below the decorative knop, the stem narrows to a collar with a moulded transverse band. Below this collar is an oval sectioned stem, which terminates in a break. The apostle is made of copper alloy with a grey green patina. The spoon handle is made from an alloy with a high white metal content, probably pewter and is a smooth, reflective grey colour.The spoon fragment is 64.3mm long, 7.6mm wide and 6.7mm thick. 7g.Compare SOM-EE8F37 which cites Homer, R. F, 1975, p. 27 and Read, B. (2001) p. 96, nos. 716 and 718, and p. 97 no.721. NMGW-726CCD is an example where the apostle and the spoon handle are made of different materials.
