Description: | Incomplete Romano-British or Medieval copper alloy tweezers, broken at the closed end. The fragment weighs 2.41g and measures 41x9mm. It is made from a thin sheet bent double with a small loop at the bend. The remaining arm is flat, and the end is not cut horizontal to the long edge, but at a slight angle. It also points inwards slightly. Tweezers were constructed by folding a sheet of metal in both the Romano-British and Medieval periods (Egan and Pritchard 1991, pg. 383). Therefore, it is difficult to determine a date where there is no decoration. | 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 | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
