Celt

an ancient cutting tool, a special kind of bronze ax or adze, used in the working of wood and digging. The characteristic feature of the celt is a sleeve located at right angles to the blade into which an angular handle is inserted. Celts were used widely in almost all European countries in the second and first millennia B.C. In the USSR numerous celts of the Bronze Age and early Iron Age have been found along the lower Dnieper, along the middle Volga, in the Kama Region, and in Siberia near modern Krasnoiarsk and Minusinsk.
