Description: | A copper-alloy tool of uncertain date and function. The form of this piece suggests that it is probably some kind of chisel or tracing tool.
The body of the tool is sub-rectangular and of thin section. One side has a number of longitudinal grooves and ridges, whilst the other side is plain. At the proximal end, the body tapers to a tang, suggesting the tool may have been hafted. At the distal end, the faces taper in thickness towards the blade.
The object is corroded. It measures 46.4mm long, 11.9mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The weight is 7.02g. | Subjects: | Chisel (possibly) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
