Hoe

Roman

English Heritage
United Kingdom

The maker of this hoe has taken full advantage of the natural shape of the antler. All he has had to do is to trim some of the tines (the branches on an antler) to give him two prongs and to cut the central piece out of the skull, drilling a hole in the centre
