Mash rake (Accepted)

A mash rake is a tool used by brewers, with a long handle and cross-barred tines.  It was used to churn the mash and keep it well mixed while steeping.  The mash rake was the attribute of St. Arnold of Soissons:  the illustration was taken from a mid-15^th C. image of the saint, in the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent.  A similar artifact, possibly a mash rake, is found in the arms of Meilenhofter, mid-16^th Century [NW 47].  For related charges, see fork.
