Lot # 934 - GROUP OF IRON BLADES AND SICKLE Ancient World, uncertain date. Lot composed of four (4) iron implements, including three blades of elongated form and one curved element identifiable as a sickle. The pieces are heavily corroded, with surfaces showing advanced oxidation and encrustations. The blades vary in morphology, from narrow and pointed to broader, flattened profiles, while the sickle preserves its characteristic curved outline. Such implements are commonly encountered in agricultural and domestic contexts throughout antiquity, though the present group cannot be attributed with certainty to a specific culture or period due to the lack of diagnostic features. Dimensions and weights: 203 × 28 mm, 48.55 g 166 × 20 mm, 36.02 g 121 × 13.5 mm, 22.29 g 270 × 15 mm, 221.17 g Group lot, sold as is.

Lot # 935 - GROUP OF IRON TOOLS AND BLADES Ancient to Medieval period, uncertain attribution. Lot composed of five (5) iron implements of varied form, including elongated blades and a tool with transverse head resembling a small pick or hammer. The pieces are heavily corroded, with surfaces covered by oxidation. The group includes narrow and flattened blades of irregular profile, likely used as utilitarian cutting implements, alongside a central element with a perpendicular head, possibly related to light agricultural or craft activities. Due to the absence of diagnostic features, a precise cultural attribution is not possible. Such tools are broadly comparable to utilitarian iron implements known from ancient through medieval contexts. Dimensions and weights: 240 × 38 mm, 131.34 g 180.5 mm, 77.22 g 128 × 13 mm, 25.37 g 158 × 25.5 mm, 75.72 g 147.5 × 20.5 mm Group lot, sold as is. 154.56 g.
