1st century BC-1st century AD. A bronze pendant formed as miniature hair-shears with triangular blades and round-section spring loop extending to the upper edge of each blade; to one face a panel of running La Tène 'Mirror Style' incised scrolls with pointillé detailing. 18 grams, 49mm (2"). The Chris Rudd collection, Norfolk, UK; formed since the 1970s; collection number CE55; ex Michael Nellist collection; found near Fakenham, Norfolk, UK. Chris Rudd says: 'During my excavations at Badbury Rings, Dorset, 1952-53 I discovered half of a pair of iron shears of late Iron Age or early Romano-British date. They were clearly shears used for sheep shearing; their design had hardly changed in 2000 years. However, this remarkable Iceni bronze pendant from Fakenham is unquestionably a miniature version of human hair-shears, as indicated by its refined design and delicate Celtic-style decoration. This decoration is similar to that of the bronze hair-shears excavated a dozen or so years ago during the laying of a gas pipeline at an iron age settlement site at Hamperden End, Essex (see my report, 'Is this how King Cunobelin cut his hair?' Coin News, December 2004 p.25"). My guess is that the Fakenham pendant was proudly worn around the neck of an up-market Icenian hairdresser. Would I be so bold as to speculate that it might have graced the neck of the royal hairdresser who tried to tame the long tawny locks of Queen Boudica herself? Why not? The Hamperden End hair 'scissors' were dated c.20BC-AD70; Boudica died in her prime c.AD61'; accompanied by a copy of the Coin News article.
