EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of iron tools dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries, displayed at the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany. The tools, which include a pair of scissors, a key, a knife, a spoon auger, a chisel, a fishing spear, and a sickle, offer a glimpse into the daily life and craftsmanship of European settlers during the Middle Ages. The scissors, with their intricately designed handles, were likely used for various textile tasks, such as cutting fabric or sewing. The key, with its simple yet effective design, would have been essential for securing doors and chests. The knife, a versatile tool, would have been used for a multitude of tasks, from food preparation to leatherworking. The spoon auger, a type of drill, would have been used for making holes in wood or other materials, while the chisel was used for shaping and carving. The fishing spear, with its sharp tip and long shaft, would have been an essential tool for securing food from the waterways. Lastly, the sickle, with its curved blade, would have been used for harvesting crops. These tools, which represent the Slavic and Slavic tribes of Europe, offer a fascinating insight into the technological advancements and daily life of the Middle Ages. The Neues Museum, with its extensive collection of historical artifacts, provides a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts alike, allowing us to explore and learn from the past.
