- Long description
- A metal scraper used for polishing out plane-marks in coffins. The scraper is made from a recycled piece of a hand-saw blade. There are teeth on one side still visible. The scraper has 4 drilled holes in it. They are clustered around one corner and may have been where the handle was attached when this object formed part of the hand-saw. [SM (Verve) 24/03/2015]
