Commentary

Iron chisel from St. Pauls / San Paolo. There is another chisel with the same inventory number, but this chisel is taller and there is no inscription on it. The present chisel is a fine and small flat chisel with a wheel head. The damage due to the corrosion is more distinct in the lower area, in the direction of the chisel point. The flat chisel was first published in Schumacher 2004, particularly with regard to the inscription with the siglum BZ-16.
