Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy spoon bowl dating from the Roman period. The spoon bowl is mostly complete (although there is slight damage) and is oval in plan with a shallow bowl. At the junction between the bowl and the handle is a circular-shaped elbow with hole through the centre and rectangular notch out of the front - this is where the tapering shank of the handle would have connected. Within the bowl is arranged a horizontal row of five ring-and-dot designs running centrally across the width of the bowl from the handle junction to the edge of the bowl. Decorated spoons are not unusual however they are not particually common - two spoons with similar decoration are recorded on this database (see BH-EEC877 and WILT-00B88E). These spoons are generally later Roman in date.
