THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THE CORROSION PATTERN AS WELL AS THE ROUGH CASTING WOULD BE IF THEY WERE GRAVE GOODS AND A LOT OF THEM WERE STACKED TOGETHER AND NEVER USED. THIS OCCURS IN SOME OF CHINA'S BRONZE AGE BURIALS. ANOTHER POSSIBILITY WOULD BE IF IT IS MORE OF A FORM OF MONEY THAN A KNIFE OR TOOL. THIS ALSO OCCURED IN CHINA"S BRONZE AGE AND WERE OFTEN TOGETHER IN A HOARD. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY MORE RECENTLY MADE REPLICA THIS ALSO OCCURS IN MANY FORMS IN CHINA TODAY. THE MANY SCYTHIAN BRONZE AXES AND SWORDS FOLLOW THE SAME POSSIBILITYS AS THE CHINESE.
