Silver gilt spoon terminal comprising a small seated animal on a moulded capital. The figure is crudely cast and worn and now resembles a small dog, but the type would seem to be that of the lion sejant affonté even though the animal does not appear to have a mane. Three 15th Century examples of lion sejant spoons are recorded and the type was a popular form made in the West Country in the 16th Century and also in Norwich into the early 17th Century. On balance this example is probably a late 16th Century example but could possibly date from the early 17th Century, perhaps made in No…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Published
Small silver bell, made of two halves cut from sheet and soldered together, pea inside. Engraved decoration all round top half. Whereas similar bells were sewn onto clothing as fashionable accessories in the late medieval period, especially in the 15th Century, bells of this kind were, in the 16th Century, attached to hawks and falcons by means of a bewit; found on collars for dogs and cats; as well as being an element in horse furniture. This bell is probably 16th Century.

An incomplete silver-gilt artefact that is probably the terminal from a spoon of Post-Medieval date, (c. AD 1500-1700). The incomplete handle of the spoon has a square cross section with chamfered corners measuring 3.4mm x 3.4mm. The broken end of the shaft seems to have been bent and tapers to the irregular break as thought it had pinched or broken off with a sort of chewing twisting action (possibly with a tool such as pliers rather than with human or animal teeth). At the complete end of the shaft, the shaft tapers slightly to 2.5mm x 2.7mm before expanding again to form the decora…
