English: An incomplete post-Medieval copper-alloy (latten) spoon (1550-1650).

About 30% of the spoon is present, consisting of the knop and part of the stem/handle. The bowl is missing.

The knop is of the seal top type and has a flat top with a diameter of 11.9mm. There is no evidence of pricked initials on the top. Below the top it is in baluster form:

The stem is flattened-oval in cross-section and has an old transverse break.

This spoon has patches of a mid-green and dark green patina.

Height: 44.1mm; diameter of sealtop: 11.9mm; width of stem: 4.6mm; thickness of stem: 2.9mm. Weight: 6.87g.
