Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy object, probably a Roman toilet article, possibly tweezers. The object has a circular suspension loop set on top of an integral globule with flattened top and bottom surface. Extending from beneath the globule are two integral thin arms, set transverse to the loop. These are truncated and damaged along each side of each arm. The object is abraded and the original surface survives only in patches with dark green patina. Break edges are worn suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. Exposed surfaces are lighter green. The object is 37.5mm long, of which 8.04mm is the loop and 4.68mm is the globule. The loop is 37.4mm in diameter, the globule is 5.54mm high. The object weighs 2.27g. Given other finds from the area, it is most likely to be Roman in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
