Title
Post-medieval nutcracker
Description
English: One arm from a pair of copper alloy nutcrackers of late post-medieval to modern date (c. AD 1700-1800).

The nutcrackers would have originally consisted of two complete arms, joined at a single point hinge of which only one arm remains. The arm is trapezoid in cross section at the top, circular in the central section and tapers in a curved bow to the slightly turned out, pointed terminal. The top section has a flat inner face with multiple incised V-shaped notches in lines across it and is one half of the 'jaws' to hold the nut. The central section has a series of irregularly spaced bands. The handle leading to the terminal is plain.

The arm measures 93.36mm in length, 11.02mm wide at the top, 9.25mm wide at the handle, 7.09 mm thick in the centre and weighs 23.11grams.
