Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy tiny combination tool, with a hammer at one end and forked tool at the other. The hammer end is rounded (8mm diam) with some wear (the edges are ever so slightly hammered over). Behind this are three decorative mouldings in the round before the tool flattens (4mm thick) at the centre point to an elongated 2D spherical shape flanked at either end by a vertical moulding, where there is hole for fixing, 6mm diam on one side and a slightly smaller 4.5mm on the other. From here the tool is tapering to the forked end. The tool then becomes quite thin (1mm thick) and curves out and then in on both sides to create a rugby ball shape before splitting into a V-shaped, forked tool. Probably used in delicate work of some kind, ?shoe making. Length 44mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
