Greetings wise ones. A client of mine has an "artifact" in her public
art collection that has been referred to as a "Johannson bar" (photo
attached). Supposedly it was used in quarrying stone. Her research
has shown up no such bar. It appears to have nothing to do with
anyone named "Johannson." She fears that it may well be an urban
myth. One person thought that it might be a "spud bar" (apparently a
Scottish term). Does anyone on the list know what this thing is & how
it is suppose to be used? We also have no idea if it is complete or
not. Any input would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
