Description: | Part of a Roman copper-alloy spoon.Most of the bowl is missing, and the truncated appearance of the stem suggests its distal end may also have been lost. The remaining portion of the stem is of oval section, tapering towards both ends, and with a series of transverse grooves decorating its upper surface. The bowl remnant extends forwards from the base of a downward step which has a U-shaped notch in its upper surface.Length: 50.7mm; width: 11.4mm; height: 10.9mm. Weight: 3.01g.As the dating of Roman spoons is usually based on the shape of the bowl (see De La Bédoyère 1989: 102), precise dating of this piece is not currently possible. This piece is one of three similar objects from the same approximate findspot: see also PAS records BH-34A710 and BH-403649.
