Two small bronze tweezers; both complete; made by a long, narrow, thin sheet of bronze, cut length-wise from the center, at one end, leaving a distance of about .015 intact at the other end; the sides of this end are brought one on top of the other by rolling it so as to form a little vertical tube, thus the other two free ends come face to face; these form the free arms of the tongue and the other end the handle. These tongues were used probably for cosmetics or in pharmacy.a. l.: .07; l. of handle: .015; w.: of arm: .005.
