Description: | An incomplete and worn Roman toilet article, most likely to be a nail cleaner of Baldock Type. The loop is set at right angles to the plane of the shaft and its top half is missing due to an old break. The shaft has sloping shoulders and flares outwards in its centre to form a lozenge shape, the terminal of the shaft is missing due to an old break. The front face is decorated with a border groove which can still be faintly seen. The back face is worn and undecorated. It is 25mm long and 9mm wide.This nail cleaner is similar to those discovered at Colchester dated to the mid to late 1st century continuing into the 2nd century (Crummy 1983, 58, Fig 62, No 1874).
