Ploughshare

Title Ploughshare

Description The piece has the shape of a regular ploughshare (an iron plate with a more narrow upper side which ends with a hook and with its lower side widened and having a median rib), but it has a distinctive feature: the two above mentioned parts are bent and form an almost right angle. This is the reason why such items are considered to be unfinished ploughshares. This type of ploughshares has only been found until now in the Dacian fortress area of the Orăştiei Mountains.
