Description: | A complete pair of copper-alloy tweezers in very good condition, measuring 50.1mm in length. These tweezers have a loop and two complete arms. There is a transverse groove where the loop joins the arms. The arms are plain and undecorated they flare very slightly towards their terminals, with an original width of 6.3mm and a terminal width of 7.2mm. The ends of the arms curve inwards at about a 90 degree angle.
These tweezers are similar to a pair found in an early Anglo-Saxon inhumation in Chantham Lines, Kent (Macgregor and Bolick 1993, 222-224, no 38.11), due to this parallel and the fact that they were discovered with an assemblage of early Anglo-Saxon material they are probably most likely to be early Anglo-Saxon in date, rather than Roman. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 450
