Description: | A set of Roman tweezers formed of a single strip of copper-alloy which has been folded double. The long blades are closest to each other just below the loop and splay outwards towards the squared off bottom edges (one of which is broken). A marginal groove marks the outer edges of the blade. The object is 37.15mm long, 6.24mm wide and 6.27mm thick (total thickness). The weight is 1.92g. A very similar artefact was found in excavations in Colchester (see N. Crummy; 1983; pp. 59; no. 1883), although the developmental sequence for this object type is uncertain.
