Description: | Copper alloy, Bronze Age palstave axe, mostly complete. The cutting edge is slightly concave, although the blade tips and blade facet do not appear visable. There is a highly defined flange, and septum. The edges have no evidence of casting which shows that this axe has been work to a high degree. Neither do the edges have a nick, the blade side and flange side smooth, only tapering out to the blade. The butt of the palstave has been damaged, and little if none of the original edge remains. The patina is a greeny brown, a shiny smooth layer remains on most of the palstave, possibly indicating its original surface. The axe is very narrow and straight. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
