The reverse of the figure is flat and undecorated, with a fragment missing from the left side of the figure's head. The terminal measures 40.7 mm in length, 13.1 mm wide, 5.3 mm thick and weighs 10.22 g.Geake describes apostle knops as being late Medieval to early Post-Medieval in date, c. AD 1400-1600. Apostle spoons frequently formed sets of twelve and there are a number of comparable objects on the database including, LANCUM-7B8C6A and SOM-A72AE5.
