An iron shears. Overall length 14 cm. Wrought iron. Resembling a sheep shears, but considerably smaller. Most likely used for trimming a smaller animal like a dog. Found in a seventeenth century excavation site in the province of Zeeland. Still in good functioning condition with attractive patina and signs of influence of longstanding stay in a submerged environment. The small size is quite exceptional. Therefore an extremely rare item.
