Description: | Fragment of a pair of post-medieval scissors. The fragment comprises part of the handle and shank up to the riveted join. The handle is flat and broken at the loop end, returning to the shank at a 30 degree angle. The shank is square in cross-section and consists of two faceted rectangular mouldings seperated either side by a longitudinally faceted section. One of the rectangular mouldings is decorated on one face with an incised eight pointed star; the other moulding is decorated with a series of chevrons. The scissors are broken where the two arms would have joined. There is a rivet hole in the centre and iron corrosion surrounding it.
