Description: | Middle/ Late Bronze Age incomplete tanged chisel, missing its tang and with a little damage to one corner of the cutting edge.
The incomplete object measures 49mm in length and is c.24.1mm wide at the cutting edge, which is 0.8mm thick. Where the blade extends from the tang it is 5.6mm thick. It is trinagular at this point, extending from an oval sectioned piece of tang extending below the collar.
The oval collar 14.8x13mm, 3.3mm thick spearates the main tang (the broken stump of which is c.9x7mm and oval) and blade (which thins out of the tang below the collar.
The casting flashes on the sides of the blade have been worn down but are just visible. Where the blade is broken it has been bent upwards. it is a relatively old break.
The patina is green, smooth and shiny.
Dot Bruns comments there is an example very similar in Roth, H. 1974. 'Ein Ledermesser der atlantischen Bronzezeit aus Mittelfranken'.
