Description: | Copper-alloy arm from a pair of tweezers, now bent into a U shape. One end, representing the sprung end, is tightly bent, and the other end has a slight bend to the end of the arm. The sheeting has several transverse grooves, some of which look like deliberate decoration, others scratches. The width of the arm tapers, 5mm at the bend, the end 8mm. Length folded 34mm, unfolded approx. 72mm. Tweezers are in general hard to date, and these may be early or middle Anglo-Saxon. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
