Uncertain object, possibly a terminal from a modern, 18th-19th century pastry jigger. The remains of the object consist of the top-end with some sort of punching or decorating tool, which is solid cast, followed by a hollow conical 'handle' or body. The tool at the top-end has six pointed sub-triangular shaped knops, which are generally sharper than the usual crimped tool. The hollow conical 'handle' or body is also unusual, in that many jiggers from this period had slender solid cast handles or would have fit into another component rather than accommodating the component; a small …

The terminal from a modern, 18th to 19th century pastry jigger. The remains of the object consists of the top-end with decorative crimping edge and a small portion of the shaft; it is missing its cutting rolling tool and the majority of its handle.

Beneath the terminal there is a double collared knop and then a circular shaft; the old break in the object occurs directly below this knop. These objects are often confused with Roman tile combs. The object measures 28.7 mm …
