Object Description
A fine Roman bronze pair of tweezers featuring a decorative head. The head is enriched with three horizontal raised bands, followed by a piriform shape. Above are two further horizontal raised bands and a spherical terminal. The tips of the tweezer are comprised of a flat tip pincer which converges inwards to allow for spring tension to be created. The arms of this tweezer are rather long compared to others found from this period, suggesting that they were likely used for surgical rather than cosmetic procedures.
Date: Circa 1st-2nd Century AD
