Priem met heft met ronding en twee strepen c. 1590 - 1596

This anonymous, 16th-century awl, made of iron and wood, was used to make holes in leather or fabric. It’s an example of a simple but effective tool used in everyday life during the period. It’s a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The awl is a relatively small object, but its intricate details, including the wooden handle and the sharp, metal point, showcase the skill of the artisan who crafted it. It is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
