1973.46.7.1c (Tool)

Metal twin curl cutter tool, used for carving two decorative curls out of dense fruits and vegatables, such as carrots, that can then be used as a garnish for dishes and desserts. The object is made up of a single long, cylindrical shaft which flattens out on one end and curves into a spiral with a pointed tip at the other; there are two loops pointing in divergent directions attatched at the point where the shaft begins to taper into the spiral. The metal is sliver but there is a significant amout of tarnish present throughout the object.
