Description: | A cast copper alloy object. This object is unusual and not immediately identifiable. It is also incomplete which hampers its identification.
It is formed from a plate of copper alloy. The main surviving piece is made from a flat rectangular plate, which has been crimped over. The shaft which extends out from this is also rectangular in section. It appears to have a rivet hole in it, at the point where it has broken.
It resembles an early-medieval pair of tweezers, but it does not look right to be one. It is therefore possible that it is a mount or similar, or it could be a toilet article. But an early-medieval date seems most favourable. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
