Description: | Copper alloyPossible Toilet Implement. Cast straight-sided plate of low plano-convex section, of expanded width at its mid point. A series of V-shaped punches decorates the borders on either side of the mid section. Both ends are lost, and heavy striations appear all round the object towards one end, and towards the other end on the flat back only. This object may be a nail cleaner or related implement or, given the pattern of damage, it could possibly be a bangle fragment which has been flattened. It bears an appealing patina which is disrupted by the damage described above. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400. Length: 62.6mm, Width: 11.8mm, Thickness: 2.6mm, Weight: 8.56gms.
