An early medieval hygiene set based on a find from Kempston, Bedfordshire, dated to 5-7th century.

Comprising of a pick, "ear scoop", and cuticle pusher, it is made from phosphor bronze, with 8 twisted wire rings. The original was only found with one, but grave goods from Ipswich cemeteries show the use of multiple rings, and I thought "why not!".
