Title |
Post-medieval spectacles: Spectacles case |
||
Description |
English: A pair of folding silver spectacles and their copper alloy carry case. The spectacles have thin round lens' frames each with a scrolled Y-shaped bridge arm towards the top which joins the same from the opposite lens; the bridge arms are joined by a silver rivet that enables the spectacles to be folded in half. The copper alloy case is simple in design having a rounded body leading into shoulders above which is a sub-rectangular neck, the outer edge of which retains a very small fragment of a suspension loop. The walls of the case are complete to about half way down; the lower half of the case is open and has suffered some post-depositional damage. The outer surface of the case is corroded but does not appear to bear any decoration.
This type of spectacle did not have any arms and would have been balanced or squeezed onto the bridge of the nose to keep them in place. |
