Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy Early Bronze Age flanged palstave (unlooped). Length of surviving part 46mm, maximum width between the sides of the flanges 20mm, maximum thickness at the 'stop' 21mm. Weight 68.42g. The palstave is a low flanged type. When viewed from the front (or back) the flanges curve gently downwards and inwards to join a swelling at the upper part of the blade shaft which forms a 'stop' to facilitate the hafting of a handle socket. The surface is very coarse and pitted which has been caused by bronze disease. However, the implement now appears to be in a stable condition.
