This is a miniature tongs from a set made by English silversmith George Manjoy, dated 1690-1691. The tongs are made of silver and have a twisted, or "spiral," design. This is a detail of an elaborate set, including a matching spoon, a fork, and a pair of tongs, crafted in the late 17th century. The twisting pattern is a detail from the Baroque era, where ornate designs were prominent. The set is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
