Description: | Fragment of a Bronze Age palstave axe, it has broken just after the septum reaches the blade. All the edges are worn so the break must have occurred in antiquity.
The axe has a tear drop-shaped side view, it is flattest at the butt end. The flange is 8mm deep. Along the side of the flange a faint casting seam can be seen. The butt is rounded. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
