Description: | A small and incomplete pair of copper alloy tweezers, of Roman or Early-Medieval date (AD 43 - 1100). The tweezers consists of a long thin sheet of metal (0.6mm to 1.3mm thick), rectangular in cross-section, folded round to form a circular loop in the middle. The arms expand from 2.7mm wide at the loop to 5.9mm wide at the end. The tip of one arm is missing and the metal is highly corroded all over. There is a small transverse groove at the base of each arm. Approximately 7mm from the base the tweezers are bent up at c.90 degrees, from where they gradually curve down in their original direction.The tweezers are now 36.8mm long and weigh 1.34g.
