An incomplete cast copper alloy nut crackers dating to the late Post-Medieval to the early Modern period. The object consists of one arm of a nut crackers. The single point hinge survives, the receiving hinge would have been on the missing arm. The arm is circular in section, and then flattens out into a D-shaped section. The arm terminates in a break and would have curved outwards to meet the opposite arm. The rectangular part of the arm is decorated with three ring-and-dot decorations on the top and either side. The interior of the hinge has triangular shaped indentations to grip and break the nut.<\/p>\n
