Title
KENT-4FC5B5 NAIL CLEANER
Description
English: A complete cast copper alloy Roman nail cleaner. It is flat, with a trapezoidal shape forming one quarter of the length, and a rounded leaf shape the rest. It appears that the two parts were separate, and have been soldered together, as the trapezoidal part rests on top of the leaf part. The leaf is plain, however there is linear decoration on the other end, and a perforation. The hole was presumably used for suspension. It is generally in good condition, there is some corrosion around the soldered joint. It has a dark green patina.
