"Pincushion" powder-box encrusted onto iron, with separate lid. 375 grams, 7" x 3-1/2" x 2". Curious display consisting of a more or less spherical clay jar, complete but repaired (looks just like a sea urchin!) fused to the coral-encrusted remains of an iron spike or rail, with a tube-shaped object and lots of tiny shells in and around the clay, its lid separate and clean except for the underside of the lip, which is encrusted. From the Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys, pedigreed to the Marty Meylach collection.
