An incomplete Roman copper alloy mandolin shaped spoon bowl probably dating AD 100-300. This is a Crummy Type 3 spoon. The bowl is concave and mandolin shaped in plan. The spoons surface exhibits traces of tinning on both the front and back of the spoon. The handle is missing but its ridge can be seen extending down the centre of the reverse.
Crummy notes that although these spoons were probably made throughout the Roman period, they are likely to have been most popular in the second and third centuries AD. Similar spoons can be seen in (Crummy 1983:70 Fig.73 No. 2018-2019).
Dimensions: length: 44.02mm; width: 27.41mm; thickness: 5.37mm; weight: 6.9g.
