Title
517 nail cleaner.jpg
Description
English: A copper-alloy Roman nail cleaner. It has a sub-oval cross-section. The object compromises of a flat attachment loop on the top. Below which are three sets of double beaded bands, which have been made by pinching a dot, that run around the circumference of the head, there is a narrowed waist between each of the beading, the beading is 2.5mm apart. The artefact gently narrows towards the base so that it is 2mm at its narrowest before it starts to flare outward 12mm from the base as a result of a groove, this results in the end being 3mm wide and less than 1mm thick, the terminal is recessed.
The artefact is in very good condition although a little worn.
