Description: | A cast copper-alloy nail cleaner/strap-end of Late Roman date. The incomplete nail cleaner measures 78.2mm by 11.7mm by 2.5mm and weighs 6.4g. The shaft is flat and leaf-shaped and tapers towards the broken bifurcated terminal. The broken suspension loop is set in the same plane as the shaft. The loop and shaft are separated by a flat junction with four moulded swellings on each side. There is no sign of any further decoration but the surface is very pitted. The nail cleaner has been bent about half way along its length. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
