A white metal object, possibly a compound of base silver and most likely cast. The object most likely dates to Post Medieval period. The length is 27mm, the width is 13mm and the weight 2.96g. The object has loops on both ends, which suggests that it is not a stand alone object. Because the 2 loops and its small size the object could possibly be a bead for a necklace/bracelet, or something that would be attached to a curtain, shawl or any other textile. At the bottom end of the object there is evidence of wear, this could suggest that it had thread or cloth wrapped around it. As of ye…

Object type: SPOON
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast lead alloy (pewter) possible spoon probably dating to 17th - 19th century ADF. Copper-alloy spoon fragment that consists of the rear portion of the shallow bowl, probably circular but could have been elliptical. Only the base of the stem remains and is hooked. Shares similarities with SOM-F59E70, BERK-C54B8A and GLO-A61CA5. The stem is rather odd as it appears to have a tab or hook suggesting that it is a component element of another object. If it is a rat-tail junction between the handle and bowl these developed after AD 1675 and were superseded around AD 1715 alth…
