Thickness tapers in all directions. Ground to a cutting edge. Blegen puts in his second type of celts, which are small, approximately "heart-shaped", and "much more neatly worked than those of the first type, beautifully polished, and ground from both sides to a sharp edge" (Blegen 1928, Zygouries, 199). | |
