Description

Reproduction of tweezers (vulsellae) are composed of a rod folded in half in what would constitute its flexor area. The finish of the upper area is rounded, like a ring. They were used to remove hair and as a surgical instrument, although the latter are larger.

The tweezers that were used in the baths were more linked to hair removal, facial hair was removed with them, as is also done now, and body hair, although they were also sometimes used to clean the ears, remove thorns and various external care. They were made of different metals although most are bronze. They could be decorated with incisions and reliefs.
