Description: | Complete but bent pair of tweezers made from thin copper-alloy strip. Although they look unprepossessing - almost like a piece of modern copper-alloy ribbon - both the expanded loop and the ends inturned at a slight angle can be seen. The strip flares from 4 mm wide at the loop to 5 mm wide at the ends, and is decorated with a pair of very fine longitudinal grooves. The original unbent length must have been about 50 mm. Tweezers can be difficult to date, especially when they have little decoration; these might be Roman, or alternatively early-medieval. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
