*19.2.5 Battle-axe.* A hatchet or *paraśu* from SARTHAULI in the Lucknow Museum has an unusual shape and is 17 cm long and 23 cm wide. Its cutting edge is not sharp. Hammer-marks are visible on its surface. It was originally cast but in order to give the final touch some retouching was done with a hammer. This is the only specimen of its kind.
