Description: | Late Bronze Age palstave of the late Penard/ early Wilburton metalwork assemblage dating to around 1100-900BC. It is complete and undamaged and has a beige/brown patina and a round-sectioned side loop. The casting seams have been removed and smoothed down and the palstave looks worn; there are scratchmarks on the lower part of the blade and the cutting edge itself looks somewhat chipped and worn and re-sharpened. The upper part of the blade, just below the stop-ridge is decorated with three uneven, faint ribs, a decoration that dates the axe to the early Late Bronze Age. Its dimensions are: length: 155mm, width (blade): 45mm. width (butt): 23mm, height: 37mm.
