Description: | One copper alloy arm of a set of tweezers with a fragment of the loop also suriving. The other arm is missing due to an old break. The tweezer arm is bent at its centre and measures c35mm in length and c7.5mm in width at its widest point. Below the fragment of loop the tweezer arm flares into a leaf-shape, it then narrows before again flaring slightly into a terminal measuring 5mm in width. The outer face of the terminal has a small incised cross on it within an incised square. Tweezers change little in form from the Roman period onwards and this incomplete example could therefore be Roman to Medieval in date.
