Description: | Cast copper alloy unlooped palstave. It is 253mm in length, with a cutting edge 52mm and butt end 20mm in width. Both the butt end and cutting edge are damaged and appear broken. The palstave has deep flanges running either side from the butt end to the waist, where they meet a distinct stop-ridge. It has not been conserved and retains a dark reddish brown patina over the whole surface. It is probably Middle Bronze Age in date (1500 BC - 1200 BC. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Powell, Nicola - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
