Title
IOW-5769C4 Modern Skirt Lifter
Description
English: A Modern cast and pressed copper-alloy skirt lifter (c. AD 1800-c. 1900)

The object is in the form of a pair of cast tongs and each of the two arms has a terminal acorn knop. The arms are encased within a circular sliding double-sided boss or plaque which has a circular free running suspension loop. The outer faces of the bosses have similar pressed decoration consisting of a bird in flight entwined within a wreath.

Length: 126.52mm; width: 47.15mm; thickness: 9.49mm. Weight: 42.03g.

The device was used to lift the hem of the skirt in order to prevent it from becoming soiled.

The find has been cleaned and oiled.
