Title
Nail cleaner
Description
English: Copper alloy nail cleaner, complete apart from its tip, 46mm in total length. The head is set at right angles to the plane of the body and is pierced by a 2mm diameter hole. The blade is leaf-shaped with sloping shoulders and has a broader upper half; the lower half tapers to terminate in two points (one of which is incomplete). The blade is 8.5mm in width at its widest point and 1.3mm in thickness.

Nina Crummy (Lucerna 2001, 3-4) describes this as the "Baldock type", common in Catuvellauni - Trinovantian area, with a 1st - 2nd century date range and not so far found pre-Conquest. The same article points out that nail cleaners are primarily a British phenomenon and rarely found on the Continent. Similar examples from Suffolk are known from Hawedon (see SF-938206), Sutton (see SF-ad19f4) and Wickham Skeith (see SF-9227).
