Commentary
Gouge with nozzle.
In cross section octogonal handle. Enlargement to the slightly curved blade. Highly damaged due to corrosion. Dimensions in according to Nothdurfter: length 22,8cm, blade width 2,7 cm, nozzle diameter 3,2 cm.
Along hardly legible characters.
No further indications related to the find circumstances are known. The object presents one of the old findings from Sanzeno which were found by the local inhabitants at the end of the 19th century in Sanzeno. The major part of these findings were acquired by the Tyrolean State Museum in the course of the turn of the century, hence the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
The present object is similar to SZ-25 gouge which bears also characters.
However, compared to the description in PID, the attribution is uncertain and arguable.
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in November 2013.
