Alfred Jewel

Alfred Jewel

Description

My attempt at a replica of the [Alfred Jewel](https://www.ashmolean.org/alfred-jewel), based on various pictures gleaned from around the Web. It is thought to be an [aestel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Jewel), the handle for a book pointer. The real thing has an enameled picture mounted inside at the bottom, magnified by a large, teardrop-shaped lens of clear quartz. I couldn't replicate that so I ended up using a paper image, which seems kind of cheesy. Still, it's a start. Fans of the series Detectorists may find this of some interest.
