Knocker <tool>
Wooden hammers of this kind were used for processing bast, in caulking or for tattooing. Bast, with its many applications, would be hammered to make it a soft and workable material, in mat weaving, for example. Hammers were used in conjunction with matching chisels (II/1377) to caulk the seams in the hulls of boats.

The provenance of this object is unclear. An old inventory number is missing. In the New Inventory Book, the object is part of a group of 16 "wooden instruments" that are assigned to the Brandeis donation. On the index card from 1970, it is assigned to the 2nd Brandeis donation from November 1901, but it is unclear how the dating came about. It can be assumed that it belongs to the Brandeis collection due to its similarity to comparable objects, but it is not possible to clearly assign it to the two items from 1900/1901.
