A Hand-forged Wrought Iron Girdle with Decorative Twist Handle - A hand-forged wrought iron girdle, also known as a griddle or bakestone, of traditional utilitarian form. The circular cooking plate features a hammered texture and a slightly concave profile consistent with manual forging. It is joined to a long, straight handle that incorporates two decorative double-twist sections and terminates in a flared, flattened tip. The iron has a dark, seasoned finish. An orange rectangular adhesive label is present on the cooking surface, bearing the handwritten number 135. The reverse side of the handle junction shows a visible weld point and hammered surface irregularities.
