Description: | A decorated copper alloy strip, possibly one arm of a pair tweezers, but probably post medieval in date. It tapers slightly from one end where there is a small plain knop. It is not clear whether this is a terminal or not. The rest of the strip is decorated with a pattern of closely scored diagonal lines. The reverse is flat and plain. It is bent and measures 30mm long, 6mm wide, and 1.7mm thick. It weighs 2.09gm. If straight it would be about 50mm long. The object is brown with some areas of light green corrosion, but the patina suggests a post medieval date. This object could also be part of a bracelet, sugar tongs or a dress accessory. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
