Binoculars
These prismatic binoculars have a leather-covered body (of which much of the leather is now missing) and two loops for a carrying strap, now missing. There is also a canvas cap for the eyepieces, held on with metal springs. The two eyepiece tubes are focused independently.
The binoculars are contained in a lined, leather case with a carrying strap (now replaced by a piece of rope) and belt loop. The case also contains two yellow filters for the eyepieces. The maker's name is inscribed on one of the main body.
