Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The broken bowl from a cast copper-alloy 17th-century post-medieval spoon. The handle and the majority of the bowl are missing, both from old breaks.

There is evidence on the bowl for a circular makers mark, central on the upper surface, which is now unclear but possibly a (Tudor) rose (as with SOM-7C2A26 on this database). The lower surface is plain.…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn cast copper-alloy fragment of a pendent frame from late medieval or early post-medieval purse. The object is elongated and broadly rectangular in shape, and L-shaped in cross section.
