This is a brushwood fork. The handle is rough with the bark still present, where it splits to form the hand piece it is bound by a green metal band. There are 3 tines with slightly flattened points. The 2 outer tines continue above their cross bar and curve over to catch the brushwood.This came to the museum as part of the Sharp collection.
