This flail, a hand tool used for threshing, resembles the Essex type of construction, but nothing specific is known of its origins. The hand staff is made of ash, and the swingel is made of an unknown hedgerow timber. The end of the swingel is bound with a thick piece of leather, and the flail-hinging is made of an unknown hide.
