Title
Complete Copper alloy nail cleaner
Description
English: A complete copper alloy nail cleaner dating to the Roman period.

The suspension loop is 11.72 mm in diameter and half of it is thicker which is where it would have been suspended. The loop narrows and then flares outwards again to create a leaf shape blade. The loop and blade are on the same plane. The blade in turn then tapers and bifurcates at the end. There is a central groove stemming from the bifurcation. There is no decoration on the object.
