Description: | A bent pair of copper alloy tweezers, suspended from a ring made from a length of wire twisted around itself. Each arm of the tweezers has a narrow shaft, decorated with transverse ridges. At each end, they splay out into triangular blade, the bottom edge of which is curved inwards. The blades are decorated with rows of punched dots.
