Bow

Fire-steel (length 3 1/2 ins) combined with ember-tongs; slightly engraved; copper mount on back. [NB: one of thirty-three specimens (nos. 424-456), all Spanish, but combined with some other article or articles of frequent personal use (generally with ember-tongs, but often with knife-blade, cork-screw, pipe-prick, screw-driver, hammer, or other). Many possess considerable artistic merit]
