Description: | Roman copper alloy cosmetic set in crisp condition comprising three elements on a bar inserted into the transversely set flat discoidal terminals of a broad flat-sectioned loop (width 15mm, length 20mm): a pair of tweezers with interned ends, decorated with twin bordering lines on the outer faces, these are set between flanking elements - a nail cleaner with a circular perforated upper end, twin grooves on a rectangular transverse bar projecting beyond the sides (3mm thick) above the curved shoulders of the tapering body, which has a transverse rib at the upper end of a longitudinal median groove which expands to the bifurcated terminal (width 10mm, length 39.5mm) - and the other flanking element (a probable spoon or scoop), similar but freshly broken below the grooved projecting transverse bar (surviving length 15mm). Combined length 51.5mm. Perhaps 3rd-4th century AD.
