Part of the bowl from a lead-tin (pewter) spoon dating from c.1670 to the early 1700s. The bowl is oval in shape and is in a Queen Anne style with a feathered-like flower spray flanking the rat tail on the back. Only around three quarters of the bowl remains with a diagonal breakage across the width of the bowl, the stem is completely missing. It is now 68.1mm long, 49.6mm wide and weighs 28.69. Homer (1975, 44) illustrates base metal spoons with similar designs, which echo those on silver spoons of the same period, the late 17th and early 18th century.
