Description: | Mid-section of a cast copper alloy palstave axehead. Worn transverse breaks either side of stop-ridge. The palstave is unlooped with sub-triangular indented ornament below the stop-ridge. Probably an example of Rowlands' class 3 (Rowlands 1976, 32-33, map 5), similar to examples in the Birchington Hoard. The surface of the axehead, which has a green patina, is heavily corroded with some pitting and traces of bronze disease. | Subjects: | Rowlands' class 3 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
