Description: | A cast copper alloy palstave of early Middle Bronze Age date. The unlooped palstave measures 155mm in length by 66.2mm (width across cutting edge) by 37.2mm and weighs 426g. The cutting edge is crescentic. The butt has parallel sides and the end is damaged with a small part missing. The stop is rounded and the side flanges are high. There is a very faint casting seam along the centre of the sides of the blade and flange. This palstave falls into the Acton Park phase of metal-working. The palstave is in good condition with an even dark brown patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
