Description
Forged and shaped from two sections of wrought steel - the precision hammer-work carried out by a skilled blacksmith, (the work very much in the manner of a an armourer).Both examples incorporate a pair of 'hooded' hawk embellishments to the upper and lower extremes.

The concave reverse faces have retained the original planishing impressions of the blacksmith's hammer - see images.
