If you didn’t see, last Wednesday we asked over on Facebook
for people to try and identify this strange and unusual object.
And now that its finally Sunday, we can reveal everything
we’ve learnt about this object so far!
As a reminder, this is a hollow metal object shaped into a
cone with a solid ball at its end. The conical body extends further down on one
side with a gentle curve and can be held easily in one hand.
This is a Hame Ball!
Hame balls are an ornamental ball which attach to the top of
a hame. They are often made of brass but may also be made of malleable iron.
Next wednesday we will be posting another mystery object on Facebook for you to identify!
