Description: | A complete pair of copper alloy tweezers, with a form characteristic of the middle Saxon period. Each of the tweezer's arms is rectangular in section and flattens and flairs to form a triangular plate, the terminals of which are bent inwards. Both arms are decorated with marginal grooves and lines of incised dots are also visible. Two diagonal lines of incised dots meet to form a triangle on each arm. The tweezers are in very good condition. There is some corrosion on one arm. The tweezers have a length of 50mm. Each arm has a maximum width of 11mm. Similar tweezers can be seen in MacGregor and Bolick, 1993, pp222-6, ref: 38.13-38.18.
