| Title |
Undated Fork fragment |
||
| Description |
English: Iron possible Fork fragment. Wrought iron fork of two tines, of maximum length 50mm. The currency of forks as table implements for eating began in the 17th century, while the condition of this object more closely resembles that of medieval ironwork reported along with it. Before that date, forks might be used to help the carving and serving of meat. A distinct class of Middle to Late Saxon implements - of uncertain use - also includes examples with bifurcated or forked ends, though this example is larger than many of these. An alternative identification may be as a very corroded pair of scissors: one side appears to show the interleaving of two blades, though this may be a quirk of either manufacture or corrosion. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Medieval, 700-1500.
Length: 89mm, Width: 26mm, Thickness: 6.3mm, Weight: 22.33gms. |
