Description: | A small copper or bronze butt or tang end, probably from a small flat axehead or possibly from a flat tanged dagger, most likely to be early Bronze Age in date. Measuring 28mm in incomplete length, 22mm in width, at the break and 4.5mm in thickness.
The thickness at the break, which is old and patinated and dark brown, is relatively slight for an axe, yet relatively thick for a dagger. There are no obvious traces of hammer hardening the surface appears cast but there is surface loss due to corrosion. The butt is slightly convex; the sides are straight and expand away from the butt. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
