Post Medieval cast lead alloy (pewter) slip top spoon dating to the 17th century. The bowl is mostly missing but appears to be relatively broad widening out rapidly from the stem before ending in an irregular break. On the back of the spoon, there is a moulded triangular section extending from the handle a short way, the peg, which strengthens the junction of bowl and handle. This peg tended to become longer after the restoration suggesting this piece is pre-1675. The stem is stepped up in thickness above the line of the bowl.
