Fig. 41. Five specimens of sanardlit from Disco Bay. 

 Л, Handle of antler with deep, oblong socket for the blade, less deeply rounded 

 socket for the guiding stick in the rear end. ß is a similar handle of greatly 

 weathered ivory. C, D and E of antler, have notches cut in them for lashing 

 to the guiding stick. The stone blades have not been found together 

 with the handles, but, from a large collection of blades, some which fitted 

 into the existing sockets have been inserted according to the directions of a 

 Greenlander. In A, С and D the blades are of greyish blue porcelain jasper; in 

 E a double-edged piece of red and white stripped agate has been inserted into 

 the very narrow, and only Ч.» mm. deep, groove at the edge. The last knife-form 

 has been used as an instrument partly for finishing large carvings and partly for 

 the fashioning of lashes, lines, etc. from rawhide thongs.
