Description: | Loop and part of socket from a large bronze socketed axe. It has a broad single mouth moulding above a large, broad loop which is blocked by a casting flaw. In places, espectially the outer face, the surface is chipped and pitted due to invasive corrosion. All edges are badly corroded and worn. Patinated dark green with variations of paler green due to corrosion. The axe, although incomplete, is larger than average and may be relatively late, i.e. transitional LBA 3/4 or LBA 4 (perhaps a Sompting-related form). The surviving length is 42 mm, the width across the face with the loop is 41 mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
