- Description
- A long wooden rake, a dull medium brown in color. The head of the rake has four prongs, all pointing in same direction, connected to it. The head is then attached to the long handle of the rake with a metal bolt. Head of rake can shift against handle (inherent?). Each prong on head of rake is held on through wood joinery (hammered into holes). Edges are uneven throughout, possibly handcarved. Both the handle and head of rake are rounded, except where they are attached (they have been flatted at attachment point).
