Title
Post-medieval tooth pick/ear scoop
Description
English: A cast silver toothpick/earscoop with the pick partly missing (16th/17th century AD). The pick would probably have been sickle-shaped. It emerged from the body of a stylised dragon, shaped to serve as a handle. Each side of the body is marked with incised lines that represent scales. The punched eyes are circular and prominent. A small spoon-shaped earscoop emerges from the dragon's gaping jaws, as if to form the dragon's tongue with the bowl facing downwards. Mid-way along the upper side of the dragon's body there is an integral suspension loop. The loop retains a slightly misshapen free-running silver wire ring. The object has been bent at an angle around the location of the loop. Asimilar toothpick/earscoopfrom Brighstone, Isle of Wight, was reported through the Treasure Act (Treasure Act Annual Report 2009, xxxvii; ref. 2009 T274).
