I will have to disagree here.  

If you can document iron sculpture in period and you can document floral
decoration in metal or document another flower forged in iron, you could
use a piece like that in an A&S.  As long as you put the differences and
similarities into your documentation then you should be fine.  The idea
could be there if the practice was not left for us to see.

I seem to remember people saying hot pink was not documentable until
someone did a couple of years ago.
