Horseshoe
This is a hind horseshoe. One wing is fullered, with four nail holes, and ends in a ‘caulk’ (a protrusion at the toe or heel of a shoe which provides additional traction). The other wing, with two nail holes, is ridged and tapers to a wedge. The shoe is part of a large collection of traditional craft products acquired from the British Council in 1960. Its origin is not known.
