Title
Probable Roman copper-alloy toilet implement
Description
English: A fragment of a cast copper-alloy object, quite possibly part of a Roman toilet article, probably an ear scoop. The object has a slightly flared terminal and tapers towards a break. It is curved, although it is not clear whether this is a result of damage or design. It is entirely undecorated. It measures 33.07 mm long, 4.69 mm wide, 2.25 mm thick. It weighs 2.2 grams. It has an abraded green patina.


Other Roman finds recovered from the general area support a likely Roman date for this object.
