Title
Early modern unidentified object
Description
English: Late Post-Medieval or Modern cast copper-alloy unidentified object. Long thin stem with a hooped handle and a screw point style point at the other end. The handle is somewhat bent and has a decorative point at the top, the squashed loop leads down to a decorative joining piece. The stem has a small moulded center piece. The bottom point bulges a little with a point screw end.

It has been suggested that the object may have possibly been a handle for a pair of Victorian hand-held binoculars.
