Title
Fragment of tweezers
Description
English: Fragment of one arm from a pair of tweezers. The fragment represents part of the tip of the arm, and although one corner is missing it can be seen that the tip was turned inwards, roughly at right angles, to provide a better grip. The fragment flares from a minimum of 14 mm wide at the broken top to 18 mm wide at the tip; it is 17 mm long and weighs 1.11g. The surface is very corroded, but a neat longitudinal row of seven small ring-and-dot motifs is visible down the centre, and a row of dots can just be seen down either edge. This decoration suggests a middle or late Anglo-Saxon date c.720-1100AD.
