A post-medieval copper-alloy (latten) slip top spoon. The spoon has an oval bowl and a rectangular cross-sectioned handle which widens towards the top. Below the handle on the inside of the bowl is a touch mark which may read IW. The object has a mottled reddish-green patina and is corroded in places. It can be dated c. AD 1600-1680.

An incomplete copper alloy Medieval or post medieval spoon, dating to the period c. AD 1400-1600. The object comprises the upper portion of the stem of the spoon.
