The nimph with tongs? pincers? (f80r)
#15
JKP, what you show here is the Roman version of a Strigil. To me it looks like two on a cord, cause it is always one item.
You can not use it in the form you show it here!

normally in  Austria, Germany, & Switserland in the 15th century the single form Strigil is used.

The cup is another item for bathing as you know. Also a bit useless with the cord attached.

Most of the time you need another person to scrape dirt or oil from the skin, used sideways as gentle scraper.
