About this work

The two rectangular handles, which are ribbed on the inside, are connected by a stem that widens towards the center. One of the handles is bent rectangularly at the end and is continued there with a short piece. At the base of the other handle, a rectangular hook with screws is attached to the tongs by short pear-shaped projections. Within this, the first handle can be moved. Along the edges of the outside of the tongs and the hook runs a gadrooned edge.
