Hello,

Does anyone know what this object is? It's about 16 cms long and about 10 cm when splayed out. We think it might be some sort of whisk (a patent remedy for baldness has also been suggested!). The enquirer has been in touch with the Antiques Roadshow who haven't been able to identify it. So, the gauntlet is thrown down ..........................

Many thanks.

Julia
