Bronze strigils: cast or wrought?

[thebeadlady]

I'm planning to make up a strigil or two soon, and in all the lovely pictures I'm finding, one question still hasn't been answered: was it more common for these to be cast or forged? I have access to bronze casting equipment and my spouse works as a blacksmith, so I can do it either way. I want it to be accurate for whatever was most common in the Republican period.
