Numerous finds demonstrate that these serving spoons were used for several centuries. Excavations have revealed variations in a wide variety of shapes and materials, from simple to elaborate, made of wood, bone, or metal. The fact that some silver and bronze versions were found as grave goods suggests that these more noble versions were often not everyday utensils but prestige items.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction of a ligula spoon with a deep, almond-shaped bowl (an oval-shaped bowl with a slight point) is made of brass. The transition between the bowl and the handle is stepped, and the single, slightly tapered handle ends with a small, spherical decorative knob. This beautiful piece of Roman cutlery is excellent for living history purposes and a lovely addition to any Roman reenactor's kit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfuerte\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Material: brass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 14.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Bowl dimensions: approx. 5.1 cm long \/ 2.1 cm wide (at widest point).\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 16 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Legal notice:\u003cbr\u003e Not suitable for direct contact with food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
