Title
MedievalTweezers
Description
English: A pair of complete but bent copper alloy tweezers probably dating to the medieval period. The tweezers are undecorated and the loop at the top is quite large which suggests that they may have been part of a toiletries set. Probably c. AD 1200-1500 however it is hard to say with any certainty what period these tweezers might date to.
