Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloytoilet article. Judging from the loop at the top the article was probably part of a set of toilet implements held on a ring or chatelaine.
The object is slender, elongated and has a simple loop at the top. The loop is open, allowing the implement to be taken on and off a ring. The shank is divided into three distinct areas by different decorative mouldings. The upper part near the loop is rectangular in cross-section and flares towards the lower end. There is a small transverse ridge at the top on the front below which is a triangular cell filled wioth a blue-green glass setting. There are three moulded reels below. Beneath this is a flattened oval panel which may have terminated with a spoon or perhaps two prongs allowing it to be used as a nail cleaner. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
