Title
Post Medieval toilet implement
Description
English: An incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy toilet article dating c. 1500 -c. 1800. This artefact is possibly an ear scoop or a cosmetic spoon. It has a shank, circular in cross-section and at one end is the bowl. At the opposite end the shank flattens and there is a circular perforation, presumably for suspension. It is broken across this perforation. On the underside of the shank, 18.83mm distance from the end of the bowl, there is a small transverse groove. This groove may have been used to rest the spoon on an edge so that its contents did not spill.

Similar examples have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. See finds: IOW-36F656, CORN-C851A6; IOW-A03F93; NARC-67BE76, YORYM-0271B0.

Dimensions: length: 68.08 mm; width of the perforated section: 4.59mm; thickness of the perforated section: 1.76mm; diameter of shank: 2.82mm; weight: 3.17g.
