Iron

After showcasing some textiles in recent months, we now feature another household item associated with textiles: an iron used for ironing clothes.

This iron is shaped like a triangular prism, with a line of holes along the base on two sides. It has a top that supports the iron and wood handle, which opens to place the coals that heat the iron.
