Description

The trowel was used in construction, especially for spreading mortar. The trowel's trapezoidal blade allowed it to pick up mortar and distribute it evenly over the surfaces to be treated, such as walls. It was used in the blacksmith's store for carpentry and building work, and was gripped with one hand for precise and quick work.
