Ancient Roman Strigil for Cleaning Body

Bronze strigil from the Roman Empire, 1st century, AD. The exterior of the curved blade of the strigil is decorated with a series of incised linear channels. A strigil was a small, curved, metal tool used in ancient Greece and Rome to scrape dirt and sweat from the body before effective soaps became available. First perfumed oil was applied to the skin, and then it would be scraped off, along with the dirt. For wealthier people, this process was often done by slaves. Strigils were often used in Roman baths and were made in different sizes for different areas of the body.
