Description: | Delicate copper-alloy stylus with excellent patination but surface stripped off in patches from 'bronze-disease'. A triangular straight-sided eraser with a shart pointed tip divided from the shaft by a collar comprising a narrow ring, spherical ring and narrow ring, the rings defined best by the 'hollows' going into the shaft - rather than the rings being added onto the shaft diameter. The circular upper shaft is divided from the bottom half - which is octagonal in section - by a collar of two rings. The pointed tip points sharply in to a sharp poin. The octagonal faceting is rounded at its edges and more difficult to see because of surface losses. There is no sign of a 'nib' at the point.Length: 95mm; Shaft Diameter: 2.1mm; Eraser Width: 9.5; Eraser Length: 17.Object identification and description courtesy of Tim Pestell.
