Description: | Copper-alloy plate which may be the expanded end of a page-holder. It is basically rectangular, 23 x 20 mm, with the upper long edge having two incurved cut-outs. Between the two is a neat rectangular patch of solder, 4 mm wide and 9 mm long, as if the arms of the page-holder had been attached with solder. The plate is decorated with rouletted lines; the reverse has some scratched marks, but these appear not to have any meaning. Page holders are tweezers with expanded ends and sliding loops on the arms; it has been suggested that they served to hold down bulky parchment pages when a book was open.
