Title
Roman: Nail Cleaner
Description
English: A cast copper alloy nail cleaner, of Roman date (1st to 4th Centuries AD).

A complete, but slightly bent, cast copper alloy cleaner, similar to Crummy's type 1a (Crummy, 1983, p57). It consists of a narrow plain strip of copper alloy, with a bifurcated tip and a wrapped suspension loop. Traces of gilding survive towards the top of the nail cleaner.

The suspension loop is unusual compared to other nail cleaners as it consists of the rectangular top of the nail cleaner wrapped around what appears to be a cyclindrial copper alloy hollow spacer, currently filled with soil. The top of the nail cleaner has a slot cut into it.

The nail cleaner measures 40.19mm in length, 3.88mm in width, and 16.13mm high. It weighs 1.2 grams.
