Description: | Description: silver handle of a pair of scissors/ toilet implement, consisting of a finger loop and part of the arm. The arm is rectangular and 0.5cm from the base on both broad sides begins a chevron pattern, pointing towards the finger loop. On one side of the arm in the space before the chevrons begin there is an etched double cross. Beginning with a triangle there are approximately four chevrons contained within a narrow plain border, with every second chevron hatched so as to make it distinct. The finger loop is sub-circular in plan and is structured to fall on what would be the outer side of the scissors if there was a corresponding arm present. There are three evenly spaced knops on the finger-loop designed to give the impression that they are offshoots of the loop itself. The chevron pattern also appears in between two of the knops at the very top of the finger-loop. At the base there is a circular hole driven into the arm, which emerges on the inside of the finger-loop. A blade may have been inserted into this opening.
