Description: | Incomplete post-medieval copper alloy pastry jigger. A square-sectioned shank is decorated with two notches in each corner at mid-point. One end bifurcates before rounded terminals pierced for a spindle on which a missing wheel would have turned. Rust indicates the spindle was of iron. The other end has been bent through a right angle before a T-shaped serrated terminal. The form of the latter is close to that of several pieces that have been indentified as possible or probable Roman tile combs (e.g. KENT-8511C9, LVPL-9D9813 and BERK-5D1C21). See the description of SWYOR-CC2B42, a jigger which is similar to the present example. Extant length c.103mm. Width of T-shaped terminal 41mm. Late 17th - 18th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
