A large pair of ice tongs. Used to pick up large blocks of ice. There are two metal pieces held together with a hinge. The 5" handles are loops big enough for a hand. They are close to the hinge. On the other side of the hinge, the metal forms long curves with sharp inward facing spikes at the ends to grip the ice block.
