Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy comb, probably dating from the Roman to Medieval periods.Parts of approximately ten teeth survive; all are of rectangular section and extend downwards, forming an angle of 90 degrees with the above 'bar', tapering towards their lower ends. The aforementioned bar is clearly broken at one end, but the outer end appears to be original. A line of four ring-and-dot punchmarks decorates each side of the bar. A curved, perforated projection extends upwards from the top edge of the bar, its form suggesting that the comb once had semicircular handle.Length: 34mm; width: 21.4mm; thickness: 1.5mm. Weight: 2.51g.
