Description: | A pair of copper alloy tweezers, now very slightly distorted. The arms are narrow and almost parallel sided for most of their length, expanding slightly towards the terminals with inturned blades. The arms are decorated with three engraved transverse lines just above the terminals, now worn, and with a further three of transverse lines on the face and sides just below the loop, also worn. The terminals have opposed asymmetrical v-shaped cut outs on either edge creating a rounded upper section and a trapezoidal lower section. Length 66mm. Width at loop 3mm, width at blade 12mm. Very similar to an example from HER 2024 Walsingham. 8th - mid 9th century.
