Rapa were used by both men and women, although the sexes seldom performed together. Men also reportedly used rapa in funerary rituals, during which they kept a vigil over the body of a slain comrade. Their bodies covered in black ash, the mourners carried dance paddles as they intoned sacred chants intended to assist them in avenging the victim's death.Rapa portray highly stylized human figures, reduced to two blade-like lobes representing the head and abdomen. The facial features are reduced to a single brow-line that incorporates the nose and extends down either side of the head to two small hemispherical knobs that represent ear ornaments..

(13 x 8.6 cm). Date: 15th-16th century.The decoration of Gothic iron locks and keys was often elaborate and of the highest standard of workmanship. The motifs were frequently drawn from Gothic architecture, reproducing on a miniature scale complicated tracery patterns and even tiny statuettes. A number of these tiny locks were compound, with some of the mechanisms concealed from view, and required two or even three keys used in sequence to open them. It has been suggested that the greatly expanded use of locks on doors, or coffrets and other types of storage chests was a result of the increasing urbanization of life and the new emphasis on material wealth and private ownership which developed in the late Middle Ages.

There are no hallmarks on the silver.The set is said to have been given by George III to one of his physicians, Dr. Tyler, and the shape of the stands is explained as that of pillboxes.
