Sundry bronze lot consisting of a spoon (bowl broken) with fist at end of handle, a second spoon (bowl only) and a nesting cup-weight. Spoon 31 grams and 5" long; spoon bowl 17 grams and 3-1/4" long; cup-weight 13 grams and 3/8" x 7/8". Three recognizable items in patinated and lightly encrusted bronze, the fist motif at the end of the spoon with thumb between the index and middle fingers, an obscene gesture today but considered good luck in the 1600s and 1700s. Recovered from: 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
