Annotation:

It is a forged iron flare fitting slattened and sharpened on one end; a wooden handle with a “neck”, a recess for hands, was fitted in the flare's opening. When working with an ice pick, a birch wood spade was always used for sweeping snow and for raking slush ice out when making a water hole. Abstract by O.G. Baranova
