Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy pair of possible scissors (c. 1500-c. 1800).The fragment consists of part of the finger loop, the arm and part of the obliquely rebated hinge. This latter feature enabled the missing arm to be attached. The finger loop is convex and shiny on its inner face and its outer face has two transverse steps.In plan, the upper and lower face is flat and the outer face is convex. On the outer face, two transverse ribs are 6.2mm apart. The inner face is flat, except for a semi-circular recess about mid-way along its length. Barely visible decoration on the upper and lower face is in the form of curvilinear grooves. At each end of the arm there is a narrow collar. However, this does not extend on to the inner face.The fragment is corroded and in poor condition. All the breaks are old.39.6 x 9.1 x 5.2mm. Weight: 7.24g.
