Description: | Incomplete and bent copper alloy tweezers of unknown date. Undecorated. About half of one of the arms is broken and missing. The break is old. Length of the surviving arm 47mm, width 6.5mm and 1.0mm thick. Weight 2.89g. The loop has modest curvature and is about 7mm in length. The surviving arm has parallel sides and does not flare outwards near the end which has been deliberately turned inwards to facilitate grip. The tweezers are heavily corroded. However, small areas of a black coloured patina survive on both sides of the complete arm and also on the loop. | 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 | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
