Earscoop

For the man who has everything. 

This AngloSaxon  treasure is known to be an earscoop (to remove wax from the ear) as it is very similar to a type of artefact found in Roman excavations which usually forms part of a ‘toilet’ set (including tweezers and a nail file).

Similar finds are also apparent in Viking graves.
