Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy set of tweezers, probably medieval in date. They are made up of two flat copper-alloy sheets which are held together by another piece of copper-alloy sheet (a slide) looped around them. The arms are straight. On the outer side of both of the arms there is an incised 'X', probably the start of a pattern that would have continued along the arms. The presence of the slide and the straight arms suggests the tweezers are medieval in date. The tweezers measure 23.88mm L x 9.68mm W. Each arm is 0.95mm thick. The tweezers weigh 3.15g. A similar item can be found on the database: SF-E6DF27. Compare Biddle 1990, 690-1 (slide tweezers) and Biddle 1990, 756-8 (page-holders).
