A complete cast copper-alloy watch winder of probable late 18th to early 19th century date, perhaps c. 1770-1820. The main body of the object is hexagonal in plan, a suspension loop projecting from its apex and a solid circular-sectioned winding element visible at its base. The edges of the main body demonstrate a raised internal border, a different design visible on both sides. On one face, this consists a Neo-Classical draped urn, while on the opposing panel is the rendition of a male shoulder-length bust, by his beard and dress probably intended as a stereotypical depiction of a Turk. Preserved in extremely good condition with a chocolatey brown patina. Length: 40mm. Provenance: from the collection of a metal detectorist.
