Title |
ear scoop |
||
Description |
English: Silver toothpick and ear-scoop. The toothpick is cast in the form of a triangular-sectioned bird's talon (now bent and distorted with point missing) emerging from the fleshy part of the claw which is decorated with tiny stamped annulets, this in turn emerges from acanthus leaves with a collared moulding just beyond the mid-point, from which springs the oval-sectioned shaft of the ear-scoop. There is a circular pierced lug in the centre of the upper edge containing a silver wire loop (10mm). The underside of the shank for the scoop, adjacent to the circular bowl, is stamped with a counter relief maker's mark: a ligatured HL within a tower-shaped imprint. Cf. examples from Thornton, Yorkshire and Longford, Derbyshire and discussion thereof in Treasure Annual Report 2004, 147, nos.338-9. 16th -17th century. Length at least 49, height 10mm. Weighs 3.44g. |
