Title
Early medieval tweezers
Description
English: An incomplete set of copper-alloy tweezers, half of the loop and one arm of these tweezers survives. The loop and the arm are made from sheet copper-alloy, and measure 62mm in length, the arm is flaring and is 3mm in width below the loop and 7mm in width at its terminal. The outer face of the arm is decorated with punched decoration, consisting of two longitudianl boarders of circular indentations, and semi-circular designs, again consisting of circular indentaions, protruding inwards from the boarders. The inside face of the arm is undecorated. The ends of the arm turn inwards at an angle of almost 90 degrees. This incomplete set of tweezers is likley to be middle Anglo-Saxon in date due to the flaring arm and the form of the decoration (Geake 2001, 75).
