Description from the seller

Collection of 9 nose rings for bulls made of forged and hammered iron. These are pliers with jaws used for controlling the noses of animals (often called 'nose rings' or 'nasal forceps for cattle'). They were mainly used as a containment and management tool for livestock, particularly for bulls.

A clamp with a jaw diameter of 12 cm, short and shaped handles with finger rings, measuring 20 cm in length.
A clamp with an 11 cm diameter jaw and long forged handles measuring 27 cm in length.
One clamp with a jaw diameter of 15 cm, long forged handles measuring 27 cm in length.
A pair of pliers with 12 cm diameter jaws, long and forged handles, measuring 23 cm in length.

One pair of pliers with a jaw diameter of 7 cm, short handles measuring 15 cm in length, with a final ring.
