bronze strigil
The scraper welded(?) along its back to an extension of the handle. The handle, like the scraper, made of sheet bronze./ The handle strip has been folded out, up, and in again, to make a suitable thickness for grip; a neat turn-back .005 wide all round prevents the edges of the strip from cutting the hand, and gives a solid effect. The extension of the handle follows the curve (longitudinal and lateral) of the scraper, and is decorated along its back by 3 pairs of raised lines, the outer of which form the borders of the part of the extension beyond the ends of the turned-back border. The folded-in end of the handle strip abuts on, the beginning of the curved part, with 2 corner points and a central tongue. (over)
