Description: | A complete sheet copper-alloy set of tweezers with the lower half of both arms bent over one way. Sheet tweezers with flaring arms can date from the Roman to the medieval period however, as the arms of these tweezers are flaring there is a possibility they may be most likely to be middle Anglo-Saxon. They measure 33.8mm in length, to the point where the arms are bent upwards, and if straight they would measure c57mm in total length. The arms measure 3.7mm in width at the loop and flare to 12.2mm in width across their terminals, the ends of the arms turn inwards at about a 45 degree angle. On the outer faces of the arms there are traces of longitudinal border grooves but no other decoration can be seen.
