There are currently no images available.

An iron object which has been made from a rectangular shaped iron. Just over half of the iron has been folded lengthways so the long edges meet. The terminal of this folded section is slightly rounded with a slightly expanded edge and a small protrusion. The remaining length of iron is folded, but creates a 'scoop-like' effect where the edges flare out slightly, and the base is curved forming a semi-circular section. The terminal of this 'scooped shape' appears to be broken along an oblique angle.
