Description: | a complete set of copper alloy tweezers. They measure 57.51mm in length, with the arms measureing 4.54mm near the loop and tapering very slightly to the terminals. One arm terminal bends inwards at right angles. The other has been bent out of shape and the terminal straightened. The tweezers weigh 4.06g. Sheet copper-alloy tweezers of this type are present from the Roman to the medieval period and are very difficult to date more accurately without an excavated context. However, as this example was discovered in an area which has yielded predominantly Anglo-Saxon finds they are perhaps most likely to be Anglo-Saxon in date.
