Description: | A complete Post Medieval pipe clay wig curler, c. AD 1650-1800. It is cylindrical with a narrowed centre (9 mm diameter), which then flares out to rounded sections (12.8 mm in diameter) which then taper to flattened circular ends(7.1 mm diameter). On the flat circular faces are stamped initials, possibly 'JB' surmounted by a simple crown. In between initials and crown is a further stamped detail, probably either a pellet or mullet. The curler is of an even greyish-white colour. It measures 63.4 mm long and weighs 11.5 grams. This style of wig curler dates from the 17th to 18th centuries AD. Similar objects have been recorded on the PAS database; cf.: LON-781DE2 and SF-A2ECE1.
