Description: | An iron axe blade with a broken socket. The axe is 142.54mm long, 87.08mm wide and 18.71mm thick. Axes have changed very little in design making them very difficult to date. However, it looks to be a domestic axe rather than a piece of specifically designed weaponry. Battle axes tend to have a wider cutting edge. The cutting edge on this example is convex, but is no wider than the rest of the tool. The uniformity of the metal suggests a fairly late date. This example is most likely to be late medieval to modern. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
