Title
nail cleaner
Description
English: Cast copper alloy ear scoop and nail cleaner with an narrow shallow ovate bowl as one terminal and a forked bifid nail cleaner as the other terminal. The shallow bowl may also have been used to scoop up make-up or scent. The handle is bent to a right angle.

Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate a similar example with a tooth-pick end on page 2933, fig.1501, no.14475, which is dated from the mid-15th to the early 17th century.

Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar example with a nail-cleaner terminal on page 64, fig.32, no.398, which is dated from c.1500-1550.

Egan and Pritchard (2002) refer to an example in the Museum of London (Acc. no.84.341/6) which has an earscoop and bifurcated toothpick and a shank decorated with transverse grooves on page 379.

Saunders (2012) illustrates a toilet set from Salisbury with a similar ear scoop and nail cleaner on p.133, fig.26, no.165 which is dated from the later Medieval period.
