| Description | This is an instrument steriliser, made of white enamelled metal with blue edge finishes. It features one handle on each narrow side and a lid with a handle. Inside, there is a detachable perforated tray where the instruments would have been placed to sterilise. The tray can be lifted using the two wooden-handled metal hooks, which can be anchored on the side of the tray.
The metal components appear corroded, and the enamel is chipped and cracked. |
