About the object
Wooden hammers of this kind were used for processing bast, in caulking or for tattooing. Bast, with its many applications, would be hammered to make it a soft and workable material, in mat weaving, for example. Hammers were used in conjunction with matching chisels (II/1377) to caulk the seams in the hulls of boats.
