Description: | A pair of mathematical or surveyor's dividers. When closed the pair would have had a prominent aperture where each arm forms a semicircle. One side fits into a central slot in the other (created by sawing) and the two arms are held with a flush rivet. At the ends of each arm is a notch and each end has the remains of iron corrosion. The assumption is that each was fitted with an iron sheath, now missing, which contained the point.
