| | Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)paolamonaco: 6:45pm Mar 2, 2005: in your text, the "ascia bocciarda" dates back to...??? -
Victoria Barkoff (asker): 7:10pm Mar 2, 2005: Date and description - Pompeii, circa 60 A.D.
This tool has an axe-type blade on one side and a head with 4 points on the other.
Victoria Barkoff (asker): 7:20pm Mar 2, 2005: Function: - It was used for stonecutting.
ileania: 6:17pm Mar 7, 2005: Dear Victoria, if you use my answer, why do you grade for someone else??? -
Victoria Barkoff (asker): 11:36am Mar 8, 2005: Points awarded - The term I used was "bush hammer axe". I had already thought of this answer before I posted the question, and what I really wanted was confirmation.
What I found most helpful was the detailed physical description given by Paola, to whom I awarded the points. Although your answer was close, your description of a "square head hammer" was a little misleading. I have consulted the moderator, who writes that my decision "is final and completely plausible...If you are sure you awarded to the person who helped you most, then that's fine."

| | mason's hammer | Erklärung:
The expression ascia-bocciarda sounds strange.
I believe the English word you are looking for is "mason's hammer", which is a double-pointed hammer similar to an axe (in italian bocciarda or martellina), used to finish carved stone.

The use of the word ascia+bocciarda is not common. The bocciarda indeed is a type of hammer used for stone cutting, with a square head on which are placed a series of short regular pyramidal projections, mainly used in the preliminary stage of stone quarrying; or a double-pointed hammer also known as \"mason\'s hammer\". The only thing I can think of is something like axe/bush hammer. HTH |
