Title
DUR-B0C806 Roman ear scoop
Description
English: A copper alloy toilet article dating to the post medieval period, c. AD 1500 to 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 PAS database, for examples see IOW-CEEE21, YORYM-1EFB41 and LON-B74D20.
