Brass curfew or couvre-feu with repoussé ornamentation. Semi-dome overall shape with riveted strap handle on top. Wide, riveted border along bottom with repoussé acorn design. Wire reinforcements along edges. Each quarter-round section of body has central floral blossom surrounded by wreath.
Curfews such as this one provided a guard to allow fire embers to smolder through the night and to be easily revived the next morning.
