Copper alloy with white metal plating. Probable spoon fragment. Round section stem expanded to form a bowl with fluted underside (most is lost) at one end, and meeting a collared discoid terminal at the other, with ferrous corrosion on its upper surface. This terminal appears to mark where a tang engaged a hollow handle (also lost). Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850.
