1976.25.21Description
Tool resembles a pair of long narrow scissors with circular handles at one end. The other end has shafts that are drawn into two four pronged fork-like projections that curve inwards with sharp points at each end. This was used to hold the hide of animals together after operation like a Cesarian birth had been performed, and would draw the two sides of the wound together so it could be sutured.Collection
