A 17th Century travelling knife and fork,
the ivory handles finely-carved with double figures, the elegant male and female couple on the fork each holding a sceptre, probably to symbolise William and Mary, the classical maidens on the knife holding an anchor and a crucifix, possibly to symbolise Faith and Hope, the knife blade with two unidentified symbols, in a tooled leather travel case.
See Plate 2 (2)
