Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy stem of a probable spoon of post-medieval date. The stem is flat in section and tapers from a wedge shaped end towards what may be the junction with the bowl. The stem is decorated on one side with linear scores down the outer edges, and an indistinct floral pattern at the wide end. Both sides of the stem have been silvered, which suggests a later date and possible function. Probably 18th or 19th century AD.

A copper alloy object, possibly a furniture fitting of post-medieval date. The object is a rod with several collars and knops of varying size, with a large central spiralled knop, akin to terminals of pins and purse bars of the post-medieval period. The terminal on this example is a small rounded point. Below the large spiral are three collars or ribs, with the rest of the rod being broken.
