nail cleaner (profile) |

Description |
English: Cast copper alloy Roman nail cleaner. It is simple in form, with an elongated leaf-shaped blade culminating in a forked point. The suspension loop sits at a right-angle to the plane of the blade and is pierced with a small, circular hole at the apex that is 2 m in diameter. The blade is flat in section with a plain undecorated back and a decorated face consisting of a circular wheel motif surrounding a punched dot on the widest part of the blade, an undulating decorative border around the edges of the blade and an engraved line leading up the blade from the centre of the forked tip.
Two very similar examples from excavations in Colchester are illustrated by Crummy (1983) on page 58, fig.62, nos.1872 & 1874 which are classified as her Type 2a, which all have leaf-shaped blades. Most nail cleaners of this type date from the mid to late 1st century AD with some probably continuing into the 2nd century (ibid., 58). |
