Scale: Unknown. A model of a half killick from Norway consisting of a wooden stock with a grown crook arm projecting at forty-five degrees to the shank. There is a large flat oval shaped stone which has been tied to the shank around the middle and rests on the fork of the crook with a notch in the stone to keep it in position.
