Description: | A copper alloy tweezers fragment of probable Roman date. The fragment consists of one arm and part of the loop, made from sheet metal. The arm has been bent out of shape, and forms a right angle at its mid point, flaring toward its blade terminal. This is incomplete due to old breaks, and has broken off to give a straight edge. The loop terminal is also incomplete, and is broken off at the centre of the loop. The surface of the tweezers is very worn, but an incised marginal groove of decoration following the long edges of the arm can be determined. The tweezers measure 37.66mm in unfolded length, with the arm being 3.14mm in width at the loop terminal, flaring to 5.3mm at the blade terminal and weighing 0.75g.Similar tweezers from Roman Colchester are illustrated in Crummy 1983 (fig 63, nos 1887, 1883)
