Description: | Sheet tinned copper alloy ferrule, cylindrical in shape, but tapering slightly towards one end, with two circular perforations, about 2 mm in diameter, on opposite sides of the wider end. This would have allowed the ferrule to be pinned to its wooden handle, and the narrower end to hold other material, such as hair, if it was used as part of a paint brush, for example. The perforations are machine made and equivalent in size, and the surface of the copper alloy has been tinned to protect it from use, and potential chemicals, so it appears to be relatively modern in date.
