Also declared by the museum was a Roman ligula, also known as a "toilet spoon." This was discovered by Valentinas Avdejevas while metal detecting in the Vale of Glamorgan in 2020. Toilet spoons were a tool used in ancient times mainly used either for cosmetics or for dispensing medicines. It is not entirely clear whether one use was favored over the other.
