"Pair of Legcuffs" is a work of metalwork dating from 1860-1866 by the artist Frogatt. The legcuffs are made of iron and feature a chain connecting the two cuffs. The cuffs are designed to be locked around the ankles of a prisoner, and the chain prevents them from moving their legs. The artwork is a reminder of the harsh realities of imprisonment in the 19th century and serves as a historical artifact representing law enforcement and punishment practices of the time.
