Description: | Probable toilet implement made from copper alloy. It has an oval-section shaft, with a loop at one end and a curving flattened 'blade' at the other. The loop is rounded externally but square internally; the blade is now missing its tip. If this is a toilet implement, it is most likely to be Roman; there is an unidentified toilet implement with a curved, unsharpened 'blade' among the small finds from Colchester (Crummy 1983, no. 1939) but, unlike the Colchester example, this one has the loop and the 'blade' in the same plane.
