Post-Medieval 'Seal Top' Spoon Terminal |
||
| Description |
English: A fragment of a post-Medieval copper-alloy baluster seal spoon (1550-1650) consisting of the seal-top terminal with a small potion of stem (Geake: 2001: Illustration 38).
The plain flat top is circular in plan and is double stepped on the underside. A narrow and vertically grooved waist below, flares to a narrow plain collar. Beneath this collar there is a smaller collar with a baluster moulding below. At the base of the terminal, adjacent to the stem, there is another plain collar. The adjoining portion of stem appears to be hexagonal in cross-section. This terminal is green and drab red with traces of a green patina. There are traces of a white metal coating on the stem. The break is old. Height: 29.13mm; diameter of seal top: 13.90mm. Weight: 7.78g. This type of spoon knop was common from the mid-16th to the mid-17th century. Moore (1999, 5) attributes their contemporary popularity to the fact that the owner's and donor's initials could be pricked or engraved onto the disc. On this example nothing can be discerned and it was conceivably always plain. Moore (1999, 5) also highlights the fact that such knops were cast separately and then soldered to the handle. Numerous baluster seal-top spoon terminals have been recorded on The Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: BH-C091E4; GLO-141FC7; GLO-A9ADF5; HAMP-1A2C67; HAMP-F5A4E7; IOW-6AAFB1; IOW-A0E361; IOW-AEA062; LVPL-97DF85; NLM-9B1615; NMS-398FD3; SOM-1E18D6; SOMDOR-E33998; SUR-889D60; SWYOR-0D0287; WILT-29CC88 and YORYM-4A7407.
