Standing at 15” tall, this example is certainly extremely visceral and violent in appearance, both in form as well as its heavily patinated iron surface. The long tang still present, but the wooden handle has been lost, would have originally been a single hand use tool. Now sat into a contemporary acrylic base for display. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gallery elder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216827347078,"sku":null,"price":445.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8702\/2726\/files\/2A566BDE-9C8A-4A74-861B-82025C6E48C3.jpg?v=1785940629","url":"https:\/\/galleryelder.com\/products\/large-roman-iron-sickle","provider":"gallery elder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
