Description: | Complete copper alloy tweezers of Roman date. The tweezers consist of two intact arms, both of which have a broad gripping edge, and taper inwards slightly to an integral and complete curving loop. This loop forms the hinge/spring as well as serving as a possible suspension loop. The tweezers have incised linear decorative boarders along the outside of the arms and three linear stepped decoration running longitudinally across the base of the curved loop aspect.The metal is a dark greenish brown in colour with a light green patina.Similar examples are illustrated in Crummy, p.59.
