SP5p Spoon, Acorn knop (pewter)
14th- 15th cent.
45mm x 152mm.
The acorn knop was the most common of all spoon types. The acorn is a traditional symbol of immortality and was also regarded as a talisman and as a remedy against cholera and fluxes. It was undoubtedly these properties that made it so popular as a spoon type. The original had a brass knop (see SP5b), although this one has a pewter knop.
