SPOON

Unique ID: LVPL-56F043

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Pewter spoon fragment from the Post-Medieval period. Only part of the handle and a small part of the bowl remains. It is therefore difficult to date this spoon precisely as the shape of the bowl and the end of the handle are usually the diagnostic features.
