Large iron adze/pick. 1760 grams, 16" long and 5-1/2" wide. Impressively large and heavy and still somewhat solid despite heavy oxidation, the rust totally removed by professional conservation (matte black finish), with wide and flat hoe-like frontpiece (adze) and pointed end opposite (pick), surely rare within its own area of collectibles but exceedingly so as from a shipwreck. With photo-certificate from the salvagers.Recovered from: Unidentified mid-1500s wreck off the Dominican Republic
