Fully wrought-iron drill with two dolphin heads, 17th centur - Lot 296
Fully wrought-iron drill with two dolphin heads, 17th century Wrought iron; 25 cm long. A rare model made entirely of wrought iron. The shaft or handle of the drill is decorated at both ends with dolphin heads or marine creatures. The crown fits into the rectangular end of the instrument and is held in place by a spring-loaded ratchet mechanism. The size of the instrument and the way the crowns are attached make it very similar to surgical instruments. The crown is missing today, but otherwise the instrument is in good condition.
