Item ID: 384559
Item Description
Made by miners in eastern Europe probably Poland or Czechoslovakia. Woven from detonator wires around discarded wine bottles. These objects were not made for their own use but for sale to tourists or other village people. The miner's made them as they were waiting for their shifts to start or perhaps when the mine had to be evacuated for explosive gases. We liken this folk craft to scrimshaw objects which the sailors made during their long sea voyages. Circa 1960s, 1970s, 1980s or 1990s.
