Object type: SPOON
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn copper alloy finial and stem of a possible late medieval spoon. The finial is flat but decorated with spiral grooves in the wrythen style, which was popular during the late 15th and early 16th century AD. The stem of the possible spoon is almost flat at the finial before slowly widening into an angled oval at the break. This object has been hard to parallel; it is most likely part of a spoon handle however there are mid-Saxon and also Roman pins that are similar; however the lack of a circular section tends to negate this explaination. Similar examples in lead alloy are known a…
