Title
Drawing of Early medieval tweezers
Description
English: End of one arm from a pair of copper-alloy tweezers, now bent and corroded. The arm flares from about 4 mm at the upper break to about 14 mm at the lower end, which is now a little bent. Although this lower end is not certainly broken, it is missing its turned-in tip. The arm is decorated on one face with engraved border lines running down each side. Within these is a longitudinal line of ring-and-dot motifs, which run down to a bend which has removed the surface along with any decoration. Below this bend is a transverse row of five ring-and-dot motifs with the central one slightly above the others. The patina is black and where the surface has broken away there is pale green corrosion.
