Description: | A complete pair of copper alloy tweezers probably dating from the medieval period. They are the type with rectangular terminals and are believed to have been used as a page turner. The rectangular terminals are decorated with a sequenced of dotted patterns; an outer and inner border, and a voided diagonal cross on each terminal. The arms taper and join with a loop. There is a slide in place connecting the arms. It is made from a bent strip of copper alloy. The tweezers are patinated with a light green, brown colour. They measure 44.11mm x 19.94mm x 5mm, weighing 4.32g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
