<p>[QUOTE="Numisnewbiest, post: 4562978, member: 99613"]You're right - I forgot to note that this is bronze. Tongs, that I've seen, have a hinged end where the "gripper" part is (like a pair of pliers), so I don't see this as traditional tongs. It's apparently meant for grabbing something, but I'm also confused as to how they would have done that with this. It's almost like a giant set of tweezers, but with a closed end?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1129571[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
