Description: | Cast cu-alloy short-flanged axe of the Taunton metalwork assemblage dating to the Middle Bronze Age, ca. 1400-1300BC. The axe is missing most of its butt but other than that it appears complete. It has been treated with lacquer, polish, gloss or some kind of other varnish, which makes it difficult to identify any signs of use or wear. However, the widely-splayed blade looks more used on one side and there are very faint striations on both sides. The wings are diamond-shaped and straight; the stop-ridge is slightly diagonal, sloping upwards.
