Title
NAIL CLEANER
Description
English:

A copper-alloy Iron Age to Roman Strip bow brooch reused as a nail cleaner. The wings and the upper bow of the brooch survive, the wings curl downwards and hold the copper-alloy axis bar, the pin is missing. The bow tapers from the wings to the break,the front face is decorated with two transverse grooves. At the break is a bifuricated end to act as the nail cleaner which forms a V-shaped groove. The reverse is undecorated.

The cleaner is 38.80mm long, 10.75mm at its widest point, 5.17mm at the thinnest, and 3.60mm thick. It weighs 3.32g.

A similar example that has been reused as a nail cleaner has been recorded on the database: SOMDOR-C10AB3.

The brooch is Iron Age to Roman in date although it is suggested that the brooch has been reused later in the Roman period.
