Description: | Tussie Mussie or posy holder. A gold coloured metal object. The bottom half of the object is narrow and cylindrical, with curved edges decorated with wavy lines and small stars, and topped with a spherical finial. When the finial is removed this part opens into three legs, forming a stand. There is a chain which connects the top with the bottom. The top half is filigree with intricate detail featuring an acorn motif. There is a chain attached near the centre of this section which is attached to a needle shaped piece of metal which can be used to attach it to clothing. Probably European and from the Victorian era. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | metal containers (personal adornment) handles | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-218767 |
