Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy flat axe, dating to the end of the early Bronze Age (c. 1700-1600 BC).
The axe has flat sides that gently flare outwards to the crescentric cutting edge. The cutting edge is very abraded and damaged, and the tip at either side is missing. The side walls are slightly flanged however the axe is so worn that the crest is nearly at the same level as the main body. The butt is rounded and very worn. The entire surface of the axe is a mid-green colour with a light brown patina. There are no visible edge bevels or stop bevels. | Subjects: | Flat | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
