Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman spoon dating to the period AD 43-410. The spoon weighs 2.46 grams. An irregularly shaped piece of the bowl remains (6.86mm x 8.25mm) attached to 22.88mm of the stem or handle, ending in an old break. The handle is rectangular in cross-section, 3.98mm thick, narrowing to 2.52mm at the break and 3.45mm wide. It projects upwards in a swan-neck shape from the bowl (thus the handle is off-set from the bowl) and is decorated with offset incisions on the top of the handle which create the appearance of a rope pattern. Overall the item is 29.83mm long, and 8.25mm at its widest.The item has a grey-green patina.
