River’s Rest Museum/Pick-Axe

A large pick-axe

This fancy pick-axe looks as though it belongs in a jewlers shop instead of the museum.

A closer look

The pick-axe is clearly meant to be decorative rather than practical. The silver head is engraved with curlicues and ornate borders. A tag attached to the pick-axe indicates it was used at the ceremony for the groundbreaking of the River's Rest Bank.
