Title
A cast copper alloy Medieval spoon handle
Description
English: A cast copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date and function. It has a round rivet at one end, a stem, and a trifoliate terminal. The rivet is round and set on a shallow diamond projection that matches the angle of the stem, which is diamond shape in section. There is a large oval double collar over the projection. The stem tapers inwards towards the centre and expands outwards towards the terminal; this includes two projects that shoot out, but are now missing. There are two incised parallel lines below these projections. The central projection is straight, but breaks part way. It is in good condition, with all breaks being old, and is grey-green in colour with patches of light green corrosion. It measures 46.43 mm L x 8.97 mm W x 4.79 mm TH and weighs 6.29 g.

This object does resemble a spoon handle but its stem is too long to fit into a type. It may be a handle of a small knife, or decorative item.
