Description
Steel and ebony surgical drill bit, France, early 18th century.
Steel and ebony; length: 28 cm.
Surgical instrument used for trepanning. The instrument is unsigned but certainly French and dates from the 18th century.
The central handle is fixed, as on particularly early models from the 17th century. Beautiful decorative wrought iron work.
The flap holding the crown no longer closes perfectly and the handle no longer turns.
Early model.
