Description

The fragmentary anvil has the shape of the letter "L". The lower part is massive and has the appearance of a parallelepiped. It was fixed in a wooden support. As long as the upper part is preserved, it is still parallelepiped. With the help of these anvils, various rings, links or buckles made of different metals were modelled.
