The opposite end has a fancy molded-relief glass flower. The glass is tinted blue from cobalt. One glass and metal curtain tieback fragment and one glass fragment from same. Glass is clear with blue paint on exterior and possible gilding remnants. There is a brass nut securing the end, possible iron interior and pewter exterior.
