Description: | A Roman copper-alloy nail cleaner. The main body of the artefact is leaf-shaped; it has rounded shoulders at the top and tapers towards the end. The tapered end would have had a double prong for cleaning finger nails. At the handle end is a collar with a swelling, followed by a second collar. At the top is a small finial knop. There are no traces of decoration on the nail cleaner; the patina is smooth and shiny dark green.
