Description: | An incomplete copper alloy handle from a Roman spoon dating to the period c. AD 43 - 410. Only a portion of the handle remains. The handle consists of a cylindrical shaft with an old break at one end which widens and becomes square in cross-section part way along its length. It then tapers to a point and features a semi-circular loop projecting from the underside. It terminates in an old break. The handle appears to exhibit decorative moulding running along the length of the handle on both sides. The design is unclear due to wear. The spoon handle has an uneven dark green patina.The spoon measures 62.16mm in length, 3.75mm maximum width, 2.86mm minimum width, is 9.84mm maximum thickness, 2.88mm minimum thickness and weighs 6.35g.
