The hands are about a foot high and I thought they were for holding chains on miladies dressing table. Can you guess what they really are?
Hint: there is a hinge between the fingers.
According to the label they are Roman nutcrackers!
I suppose the shell was for powder and the round object is the back of a polished bronze mirror.
Amongst all the many bottles for lotions and perfumes, this little, 2 inch foot stood out. It held an ungeunt for use on feet.
This is a lady who might have used these items.
Took me a while to see what this 2ft high blob of marble actually was: a dolphin.もっと詳しく
