Description: | Incomplete copper alloy nail cleaner, Crummy type 2a (1983, The Roman small finds from excavation sin Colchester 1971-9, figure 62). The nail cleaner has a leaf-shaped blade, tapering gently from the shoulders to the points. One side of the blade has an incised longitudinal line up the centre of the blade from between the centre of the points. The suspension loop, now bisected, is at the same angle as the blade and has two bead-and-reel mouldings below. The object is abraded and pitted. Where the original surface survives it has a dark brown patina, with exposed surfaces showing as mid and light green. The object is 36.7mm long, 3.8-8.9mm wide, 1.2mm thick and weighs 1.9g. It dates from the 2nd-3rd centuries. | 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: | 100
