The name of his agency, seen on a newspaper ad, is "Hafts", an anagram for Shaft.

The axe haft is sometimes called the handle. Traditionally, it was made of a resilient hardwood like hickory or ash, but modern axes often have hafts made of durable synthetic materials. Antique axes and their modern reproductions, like the tomahawk, often had a simple, straight haft with a circular cross-section that wedged onto the axe- head without the aid of wedges or pins. Modern hafts are curved for better grip and to aid in the swinging motion, and are mounted securely to the head.

While it occurs with Cleviceras cf. exaratum, ribs are less strongly curved. Similar species is Hildaites borealis, but it has shorter hafts of the ribs, has unicarinate-tabulate venter (and not unicarinate- bisulcate as in C. chrysanthemum) and somewhat subangular ventro-lateral shoulders, while C. chrysanthemum has gentle ventro-lateral shoulders. It is similar also to Harpoceras falciferum, but it does not have such long hafts of the ribs and also not such acute curve of the ribs in the middle of the flank.

The standards are erect, oboval, and narrower than the falls. The hafts of the standards, have a small white beard. It has style branches, that are toothed and 3.8 cm long, with a deltoid crests. It has an oblong shaped and pearl coloured stigma.
|
|
They are long and wide. They can have green-brown, or white veining on the hafts (where the petal meets the stem). In the centre of the petal is a thick white beard, tipped with orange. The standards are oblong, and long, and wide.

The falls are obovate or cuneate shaped, and long. They often curl under, or are reflexed.Kelly Norris They have 'hafts' (section near to the stem) that are veined with brown, or brownish purple. In the centre of each of the falls, is a white beard tipped with yellow, or yellow, or dark yellow beard.
|
|
The falls are wide, obovate often retuse (rounded), and long, and wide. The falls narrow to a pale, cuneate (wedge shaped) haft (section of petal near stem). They are also striped with white, or the hafts are striped. In the centre of the petal is a whitish, or white tinged with blue, or pale blue beard.
|
|
They often have blue markings, and yellow-green veining, especially on the hafts (section of petal near the stem). In the centre of the fall, is a dense, narrow, white beard of hairs, tipped with yellow. The standards are obovate, oblong or elliptic shaped, long and wide. They have a short yellowish haft, and sometimes have a sparse beard.

The Golondrina is unfluted, without a longitudinal channel flake. The point has an expanding hafting area where the width, upward from the stem, increases in size. Analysis suggests that Golondrina points were attached on split-stem hafts either with or without foreshafts. They may have served a dual function as projectile points as well as butchering knives.

Modern hafts are sometimes constructed from a sawed blank with a dowel added for strength at the crook. The second form is the D-handle adze which is basically an adze iron with a directly attached handle. The D-handle, therefore, provides no mechanical leverage. Northwest coast adzes are often classified by size and iron shape vs. role.

The standards are also obovate, but often retuse (rounded), they are also paler than the falls, but have red-brown veining on the hafts. It has long, style branches that are colourless with a violet keel, they also have a semi-ovate crests. It also has blue filaments, which are long and bluish or white anthers, that are long. It has a long perianth tube.

When glue or any other resin is used, the hafting is said to be mastic. Mastic hafts are also very strong and reliable since there is little to no movement of the tool. Glue also has the advantage of absorbing shock when hardened, which helps with cushioning. Before industrial glue was readily available, people would use a variety of plant or animal materials to make glue.

More than 125,000 years ago, early Archaic humans such as Homo heidelbergensis developed the extensive use of hafted stone tools. Over time, hafting evolved and tools became deadlier with more control. Evolution has brought hafts with small shafts and dull stone tools to longer stronger shafts with sharper, narrower tools that were better suited for piercing and cutting. In much more recent times, hafted axes and weapons have benefited from tapering.

An average of between six and eighteen microliths may often have been used in one spear or harpoon, but only one or two in an arrow. The shift from earlier larger tools had an advantage. Often the haft of a tool was harder to produce than the point or edge: replacing dull or broken microliths with new easily portable ones was easier than making new hafts or handles.

Many prehistoric types of glue were a combination of materials, such as animal feces, tree bark, and charcoal. The main downside of mastic hafts is the time consuming and difficult construction process. Alternatively, the head may simply be forced into the shaft, if the shaft is soft enough, eliminating the need for a slit (and perhaps improving durability). If a strap is used, it is tied directly to the flanges of the artifact.

The flowers are small, about in diameter. They come in yellow shades, between bright yellow to pale yellow. It has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals, known as the 'standards'. The larger falls are obovate (egg or tear-drop shaped), held at a horizontal angle, have pleated edges and have brown markings on the hafts (the thinner part of the petal heading towards the centre).

Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The hafts (the section of petal closest to them stem), are white with brown-purple, or brown veins. In the centre of the falls are beards, row of small hairs, white tipped with orange. After the iris has flowered, it produces seed capsule, (that has not yet been described).

194 In 1970, a minor change was made to the naval crown, with one of the pennants on top of the sails altered to point left instead of right. Another minor change was made to the crown in 1974, with the curvature of the sails altered. In 1975, the weapons below the rope circle were reorganised so the nulla nulla and axe were superimposed over the boomerang, and were redrawn slightly: one of the major changes being thicker hafts on the crossed weapons.

Which can be compared to the size of a quarter. It has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals, known as the 'standards'. The drooping obovate (egg-like) falls, measuring long and wide, have brown or purple marks (dots or lines) on the hafts and in the centre of the petal. The smaller, paler (in colour) narrow, upright standards are between long and wide, with brown/purple petal stalks.

Kenya national law lays forth a heraldic blazon, or official description of the coat of arms:Laws of Kenya: National Flag, Emblems, and Names Act Arms.— Per fess sable and vert, on a fess gules fimbriated argent a cock grasping in the dexter claw an axe also argent. Supporters.— On either side a lion or, grasping in the interior forepaw a spear of estate, the hafts of the spears crossed in saltire behind the shield. The whole upon a compartment representing Mount Kenya proper. Motto.

It seems most schools of combat suggested a haft length comparable to the height of the wielder, but in some cases hafts appear to have been created up to in length. The design of the head varied greatly with a variety of interchangeable parts and rivets. Generally, the head bore an axe or hammer upon the damaging 'face', with a spike, hammer, or fluke on the reverse. In addition, there was a projection from the top (often square in cross section) built somewhat like a dagger.

A set of ornamented bronze ladles were also unearthed, all of approximately 20 cm long. One was decorated with depictions of flying birds and geometric patterns, while another showed a picture of a man playing music. The circular motifs in the artefacts excavated at Viet Khe were not restricted to the bronze specimens, with a piece of leather also being ornamented in this way. The coffins also held sooden hafts for use in speartips, impressions of matting on soul and items of lacquer, cloth and basketry.

Results announced in September 2018, and a paper published in cell magazine in 2019, show that the dna did not include any traces of steppe ancestry, in line with the Aryan migration theory, which says that Indo-Aryans migrated into India after the Harappan times. Fire altars and apsidal structures were revealed in Rakhigarhi. Hunting tools like copper hafts and fish hooks have been found here. Presence of various toys like mini wheels, miniature lids, sling balls, animal figurines indicates a prevalence of toy culture.

In the 16th—19th centuries the best furniture was made of Ceylon ebony. The wood was preferred for making door and window handles, table-ware shanks, while the cutting was used for knitting needles and hooks or razor handles making. Today the wood is perfectly used in handmade artwork and for producing some parts of musical instruments (for example, grand piano keys, necks, fingerboards for fretted and bowed instruments, pegs, tailpieces, string holders and tripods for instruments), turnery (including chess pieces), knife hafts, brush holders and chopsticks. Also it is good for decorative wooden inlay.

A Golondrina projectile point with a mildly serrated edgeComparison of Golondrina and Plainview points. Both styles date to Late Paleoindian times and share similar lanceolate shapes. Golondrina points (formerly Plainview Golondrina) are lanceolate spear or dart projectile points, of medium size, dated to the transitional Paleo-Indian Period, between 9000–7000 BP. Golondrina points were attached on split-stem hafts and may have served to bring down medium-sized animals such as deer, as well as functioning as butchering knives. Distribution is widespread throughout most of Texas, and points have also been discovered in Arkansas and Mexico.

The flowers come in a range of violet-blue shades. From blue, to deep purple, to violet-blue, to violet, to dark violet. The flowers are 6–8 cm in diameter. Like other Irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals, known as the 'standards'. The large, obovate (shaped like an egg), drooping 'falls' are 5–5.5 cm long, have a red/brown flush or spots on the hafts. The slender, oblanceolate, upright 'standards' are 4.5–5 long and 1-1.2 cm wide.

The discovery of Chinese coins of Wang Mang in the area, led archaeologists to conclude that the burial site must have been during or after the Xin Dynasty which was in existence from 9 CE to 23 CE. The burial style of the coffins found at Xuan La are similar to that of Chau Can, with the body typically being placed in a wooden coffin with the burial goods being placed beside the body, beside the deceased's ankles and beyond the skull. A wide variety of wooden objects was also found among the buried coffins, which wooden sculptures of human figures being found. Burial 1 was unearthed with a wooden tray in the ankle region, in addition to the presence of two bronze socketed axe head, three axe hafts, a wooden stick and a shaft of bamboo. Four pottery objects and 36 Chinese coins were found next to the left hand.
