Description: | Incomplete copper alloy ?Roman tweezers, missing one arm. The surviving arm, inclusive of loop, is 56.5mm long. The maximum width is 7mm, narrowing slightly to just below the loop where it is 6mm wide. Most of the patina is missing and the metal is dark green/ brown. The missing arm appears to have been bent - the loop is extending outwards at an angle. The end of the surviving arm is turning inwards for the grip, but only slightly. Thickness 1mm, weighs 2.79g. Cf an example in Crummy 1983, fig.63 no.1879, described as possibly not 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
