Object type: SPOON
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Cast copper alloy apothecary spoon bowl or ladle, missing its handle. The bowl is pear-shaped in plan and has a rounded base so that it is semi-circular in section.

At the wide end of the bowl, near the rim, there is evidence of where the handle was soldered onto the bowl which is now exposed and not patinated.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cornwall

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete lead four-part alnage or subsidy seal stamped with a crown over a fleur de lis between the letters E R, therefore during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603).
“Lead seals were put on commercially produced cloths as part of a complicated system of industrial regulation, known in England as the alnage, under which quality control and the levying of tax of a few pence per newly manufactured cloth was administered until 1724.” (Egan in Saunders 2001, p.43)
