Middle early medieval tweezers |
||
| Description |
English: A complete but bent pair of copper-alloy tweezers, probably dating from the middle Early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period (Geake 2001, p.75). The upper three quarters of the arms are narrow and are decorated with a repeating pattern of closely-spaced transverse ribs. The arms flare outwards at the triangular bottom section where on both sides there is a pattern comprised of lines of punched ring and dots (the rings being very faint). The bottom edge of both sides of the tweezers has been folded back towards the centre so that it forms an angle of ninety degrees with the rest of the arm. At the top, the hoop has moulded line decoration and still contains a loop of copper-alloy wire. This wire has been tied together in a simple fashion. The object has a dark green patina and is slightly corroded. The implement itself measures 37.4mm long in its current condition. The maximum width of the arms (at the bottom) is 17.3mm. The ring is 18.5mm wide by 13mm high and is made of copper-alloy wire measuring 0.9mm in diameter. The weight is 5.13g. |
