Description: | Copper alloyPossible Chisel or Leatherworking tool. Cast sub-triangular blade of V profile with an angled cutting edge which is folded over to one side of the tool, probably by misuse. Angled lateral striations appear on the opposite side of the blade, and may be the result of either sharpening or the same episode of inappropriate use. The chisel is bent and broken at a rectangular tang, the end of which is lost. The condition of the object is excellent, with the aris between all its surfaces so sharp as to suggest a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800. Length: 48.1mm, Width: 27.1mm, Thickness: 5.3mm, Weight: 27.02gms.
