Description: | The blade end from a bronze socketed axe, 30mm in length and 48mm in width. The axe has been 'hammer' broken and the crushed socket has visible hammer(?) notch marks on it. The axe has an expanded convex cutting edge- demonstrating former use. It is patinated medium/dark green and has patches of invasive corrosion. The hammer breakage of this axe suggests that it was possibly part of a Late Bronze Age 'founders' hoard. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
