Post Medieval: Nut crackers |
||
| Description |
English: A complete pair of cast copper alloy nut crackers, of Post Medieval (Late 18th Century) dating.
The nut crackers consist of two identical parts hinged together at the top. The upper part is made up of two solid plates, which are sub semi-circular in section, with three flat areas decorated with foliate like decoration. The inside surface has three lines of irregularly spaced triangular nicks designed to hold the nut in place. Below this is an ornately turned area with a repeating designs of plain collars either side of a collar decorated with frequent vertical lines. The 'handles' are located below the turned area, and consist of a rectangular section area, which curves initially away from the main area and then tapers back in, terminating with turned out points. An oval space is formed between them. They measure (closed): 95.69 mm long, 32.04 mm wide and 10.14 mm thick. Open, they are 180 mm long, 12.11 mm wide and 10.04 mm thick. They weigh 45.3 grams. The nutcrackers are a dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. Several other complete or nearly complete nut crackers have been recorded on the PAS database including: LVPL-EDF472, LEIC-E45056, YORYM-606167, SWYOR-EE9E14, LVPL-314DB0 and HAMP3159. All are considered to be Late 18th Century in dating. |
