Description: | A copper-alloy, Bronze Age tanged chisel. The chisel blade is wedge shaped, widening from 9 mm nearest the tang to 12 mm at the tip of the blade. The blade also decreases in thickness, from 4.6 mm nearest the tang to 1.2 mm at the blade's end. The item is thickest where the blade meets the tang, at 6.5 mm, and at this point it is decorated with a thin band which loops the object. The blade is 19 mm in length and the tang is 26 mm long. The tang is cone shaped and narrows to a point at the end where it would have been set within a handle. The item is 45 mm in total length. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
