Description: | Roman copper alloy tweezersThe tweezers are fragmentary, represented by a part of one arm only (with a surviving length of 51.8mm and a weight of 1.6g) and are made from sheet copper alloy (with a thickness of 0.6mm to 0.9mm). The sides are straight and gradually diverge to the end (with a minimum width at the break of 6.0mm and a maximum width of 8.0mm). The end of the arm is bent inwards (with a depth of 1.6mm). The arm is decorated with an incised border and central column of punched marks. The marks have concave sides and rounded tops. The surface of the copper alloy has a dark-green patina and hammer-marks and other impact marks from the manufacture are still discernible on the surface.
