Shovel
Adventuring Gear
A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials, such as soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore.
Adorned with layers of paint, the handle bears traces of its vivid past—streaks of blue, yellow, and red peeking through. Hand-worn to a sweat-stained smoothness in the middle, it contrasts with the well-kept blade, gleaming along its sharpened edge and inner curve. Artfully hung on barn nails, blade aloft, this tool tells a tale of both function and aesthetic appreciation.
