Description: | A complete pair of copper alloy tweezers probably dating to the medieval period. The tweezers consist of a single sheet of copper alloy bent into a loop and two arms. The looped head is pentagonal in profile, below the loop are two slightly raised horizontal ridges on the outer side of either arm. The arms taper slightly towards the terminal, and the terminal proper has rounded points on either side. The surface is dark greenish-grey in colour and is relatively free of corrosion. These tweezers most likely date to the medieval period, but a Roman or early-medieval date cannot be ruled out. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Mason, Richard | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
