Description: | Cast copper alloy leaf-shaped nail-cleaner. The nail-cleaner has a loop at the top and slightly thickened neck moulding, this consists of a rectangular shape with two transverse incised lines on both sides. Below the neck is a second loop, approximately the same size as the top loop, and from this the nail cleaners taper down to where the tip would have been. On both faces of the cleaners there is a single, vertical incised line running down the centre. The end of the cleaners has broken off but would presumably have been the usual small forked tip.
The object weighs 4.65g and measures 37.9mm in length, 11.76mm in width and 5.02mm in thickness. A similar example can be seen in ??Finds from Roman Aldborough?? by Bishop, Fig.21 No.216, although this does not have the second loop. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
