Title
SPOON
Description
English:

A Post-Medieval copper alloy trifid spoon handle terminal, probably dating to c. AD 1650-1720. The spoon handle is flat and plain, terminating in a worn break at the worn end and flaring outwards into a tri-lobed trifid terminal at the other, there is a central drilled aperture below the central lobe, probably for suspension.

Dimensions: length 84.2mm; width 24.3mm; thickness 1.8mm; weight 8.77g.

Egan (2005: 118, no. 578) publishes an unstratified trifid spoon featuring counterfeit hallmarks dating the spoon to the mid-17th century at the earliest. Homer (1975: 43) suggests that this style of spoon first appeared soon after 1660 and went out of fashion by c. 1700. cf. GLO-BD726C on this database.
