example of a somewhat uncommon form. It is far too light and delicate

that it can be readily grasped in the hand, as one holds the wooden handle 
ot a chisel or gouge. . It is remarkable not only for its extremely neat and 
beautiful workmanship, but for the geometrical precision of its form and 
its incurved sides, the belly of the implement being less in width than its 
, smaller end. The broad cutting edge shows but little evidence of use.
