Artifact Overview
Chestnut trees produce an edible fruit that has been a popular treat for thousands of years among people throughout the world. Since chestnuts are harvested in the fall and are perishable, they tend to be associated with late-year and winter celebrations. Roasting chestnuts is a common way to prepare them. This undated roaster is decorated with an image of William Shakespeare.
