Name/Title
Wooden Hand MalletEntry/Object ID
2021.2.3.15Description
A wooden mallet like this would be used to drive chisels and gouges, plus softer pegs and dowels, as this tool would not leave a mark like a metal-headed hammer. A rounded mallet like this was likely used for carving, as the carver could adjust the angle of the strike more easily than a flat head mallet.
This wooden mallet has a large cylindrical shape and is attached to a wooden shaft handle situated at the center of its face.Location
