Description: | Roughly two thirds of a copper-alloy tweezer arm, the rest of this arm and all of the other are missing due to old breaks. It measures 35mm in length and 14.5mm in width at its terminal and 5mm in width at its incomplete end. The terminal end therefore flares outwards quite substantially, its tip is folded over at right angles. The front face of this incomplete arm is decorated with a central longitudinal row of ring and dot motifs, there are also two opposing ring and dot motifs either side of this longitudinal row at the terminal end. These tweezers are most likely to be middle Anglo-Saxon, 700-850AD.
