A fine 19th Century
French instrument with a
beautifully fluted ebony handle. This is an extremely rare piece and
I have not yet come across any formal documentation of its exact
function. A rotating mechanism at the base of the stem allows the
two distal prongs to be separated, probably though the os cervix so
as to dilate the uterus. |
