What-is-it question CXX.

This piece is in the Royal collection at Windsor.
Dates to c. 1680. Is about 20 inches ( 50.8 cm.) long.
This piece is not just made of silver. It also has leather that you can't see in the picture. This is the only picture I have.

What is it called ?

Well done Cheryl and Wev.

Yes, it's a bellows.
Was feeling guilty that I could not show a side view.
Should have known you would only need the one picture.

The bellows bears the cypher of Charles II.
Maker's mark is a crowned P, probably Bejamin Pyne.
