This wrought iron bolt and nut were found partially embedded in an iron oxide concretion. The embedded portion was semi protected from a century of mechanical corrosion from waves and sand while the partially exposed portion was deeply uniformly and mechanically corroded resulting in a rare dual texture presentation. There are enough of the original bolt threads for the nut to function and it can be completely removed.
Included is a custom-fit hand-forged mount allowing it to rest securely yet easily lifted for handheld appreciation.
Approx 8” long by 1” thick bolt. Nut 1” deep and 1.5” diameter.
