Description: | Copper-alloy nut crackers. Small. The interior of the clamp has three columns of triangular indents to grip the nut. The outer surface of the clamp has three edges, and is decorated with irregular clusters of circular and semi-circular stamps. There are very fine transverse lines at the junction of each face. The circular-sectioned handle has two groups of two transverse mouldings enclosing a moulding with closely-set longitudinal lines. The ends of the handle are D-shaped in section and curve round and taper to meet at the bottom.
