Description: | Copper alloy flanged axe. The butt is straight and has two nicks in it. On just above the centre is modern, and the other just below the butt corner is well patinated and ancient. The flanges are 50mm in length and have slightly inward turned crests. The flange sides are 16mm at their widest point. The surface of the septums are smoother than that of the blade, and have a dark brown even patina with sporadic patches of active bright green corrosion. The blade edges curve outwards to form a crescentric cutting edge, 33mm wide. The blade is 7mm in width at the flange ends tapering to 0.4mm at the cutting edge. Both sides of the blade are covered with fairly extensive patches of brown patina.
