Description: | The striking thing about the axe is that it is particularly small, even though it appears to be complete. Also the axe has been over-cleaned therefore any detail such as hammer marks or even a possible flange are not visible. The blades' tip, and cutting edge is slightly asymmetrical , but whether this is due to wear or cleaning is uncertain. The blade tapers towards the butt of the axe. The butt is slightly curved. The surface of the axe is pitted and only has a small element of the patina remaining. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
