Title
GLO-198227 strap end nail cleaner
Description
English: A copper-alloy nail-cleaner strap-end which would probably have performed both roles. The main body is made form a lozenge shaped plate with an elongated lower point that has a V-shape notched terminal, this has been decorated with a ring and dot in the centre. On the top edge are two opposing crescents with an inverted triangular plate above, both of which have a ring and dot in the centre. The top edge has a long thin rectangular tab that has been bent back on itself to form a loop, with the end of the tab secured (by a lead solder) to the rear of the strap end. Small V-shaped notches have been removed from around the top edge to form a decorative border.

These artefacts date to 350-400 see ESS-9A2812, HAMP-BBD006, HAMP-5F68B3 and BH-9BA52 for similar examples.
