Like many other antiquarians, Curle developed his own collection of artefacts. He also struck up a personal correspondence with Francis Haverfield, the foremost authority on RomanoBritish archaeology, and other leading Roman scholars of the day throughout Europe. This part of Curle’s private collection includes clippers (in the form of shears) and tweezers for trimming and plucking hair and a small spatula for cosmetics.
