Description: | A small piece of copper alloy strip dating from the Early Medieval period. The strip is sub-rectangular and flat. One end is broken, but the other end has a transverse collar and then a slightly flaring terminal. This shape makes it unlikely to be part of a pair of tweezers, but it may be part of some other toilet article or a decorative embellishment. The centre of the strip is slightly arched. It is not clear if this is intentional. The terminal is decorated with a single ring and dot, and the rest of the strip is decorated with very faint further ring and dots and transverse incised lines. The reverse is not decorated. It has a light green patina. It has a length of 29.23mm, width 4.82mm, thickness 1.01mm, weight 0.67g.
