Reproduction of two scrapers with a curved blade with a concave surface, ending in a rounded tip. The handles have a rectangular and flat surface, they also have an opening through which a ring has been passed.

The strigilus were used in the Roman world for personal hygiene, they scraped the skin that had previously been impregnated with oils to remove dust and dead cells. They had a hole in the upper part of the handle to pass a ring and thus be able to hang the utensil on another larger ring that was hung from some part of the body or clothing to more easily carry hygiene items. Oil was used because soap was not yet known in Roman times.
