Description: | This incomplete object is presumed to be a nail-cleaner, though the functional tip is missing. The surviving object is 34mm long, 10mm wide at the widest point, and 1mm thick in the shaft. The handle is 13.5mm long and 4mm wide, domed in section on the upper surface (which is also ribbed using transverse notches)and quite flat on the back. The shaft, which is blade-like, has shoulders below the handle 10mm wide, and then gradually narrows: the tip is broken off. There is a marginal groove engraved on either edge of the blade front, but the back is quite plain. It may be compared to find SF-C25691 (Coddenham), a folded blade of very similar construction. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
