Title
ear scoop (profile)
Description
English: Cast copper alloy Roman toiletry implement, with an oval spoon bowl at one end, probably an ear scoop or ligula, and a pointed bifid terminal at the other end, which might have been used as a nail cleaner . The toiletry implement is now bent into a V-shape but would have originally been straight. Roman toiletry implements often have multiple functions, with a tool at each end of the copper alloy rod.

Bailey (2008) illustrates a similar bronze probe with a bowl terminal on page 25, Fig.C7.14, which is dated from the Roman period.

Crummy (1983) illustrates a similar nail cleaner on page 58, Fig.62, No.1869, which is dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD, and a toilet spoon on page 60, Fig.64, No.1900.
