| Object history | File of material relating to an object described as a pipe-clay ‘tube’ with a cock/hen at its top. Includes photocopy of object description sheet which includes sketch of object (date unspecified); Hunt Museum object comment sheet (25 April 1996) which contains comments made about object by John Cherry, British Museum. States that it probably dates from the fifteenth century and attributes it to the Netherlands or the Low Countries. Questions if the cockerel is a symbol of Saint Peter and that object might make a staff mount or a pilgrims badge. | ||||||||||||||||||||
