Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Isle of Wight
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a cast pewter unidentified object, possibly a fitting of some kind, Post Medieval in date. This item is made of a long, twisted shaft that ends in a knopped terminal at the base.

Post Medieval cast pewter spoon, c.AD 1700-1800. A dinner spoon with an oval bowl, which has both sides turned over onto the concave face before being crushed flat, for reasons unknown.
