Description: | An incomplete set of copper-alloy tweezers. The style suggests a date of early to middle Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. The piece consists of one arm, the break having occured at the top loop. The width of the arm extends gradually, reaching a maximum of 16.8mm at the blade. Extending two thirds of the way down each side, a short distance in from the edge, is a traced line; the bottom third is decorated with a panel of punched dots, the central image consisting of a trapezium overlain by an angled cross. The blade has been formed by bending the end inwards by approximately forty-five degrees. The piece has a blueish-green patina and is slightly bent. It measures 43.7mm long, 16.9mm wide and 2.6mm thick. The weight is 2.61g.
