Description: | An incomplete and misshapen Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) tweezers (c. 450-c. 650). The ends and each side of the arms are broken and incomplete. Each of the arms flares in width slightly from the fold at the top towards the bottom. On the outer face of each arm, below the fold at the top, there are at least three engraved saltire crosses divided by horizontal engraved lines. It has a shiny mid-green patina and is severely corroded in places. Length if straightened: c. 79.0mm; maximum width of arms: 7.6mm; thickness of arms: 1.7mm. Weight: 10.46g. Similar tweezers have been published (MacGregor and Bolick1993: 220-225).
