Description: | A copper-alloy fragment from a Roman nail cleaner. The cleaner does not appear to conform closely to any of Crummy's identified types, and therefore seems likely to be of a later date; Crummy indicates that late 4th century nail cleaners are characterised by their individuality rather than consistency (2001, 6). The fragment has a tapering, leaf-shaped blade with a large portion broken and missing. The suspension loop is broken and is on the same plane as the blade. A series of six lateral ridges decorate the cleaner between the suspension loop and the blade, where it also tapers. The remains of the cleaner measure 26.6 mm long and 12.2 mm wide. | 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: | 350
