Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Late Bronze Age socketed axe. Much of the mouth is missing and the cutting edge is somewhat chipped. The axe seems to have had a square opening with a small ridged rim around the mouth. It had three raised midribs running down both faces and there are small casting lines along both the sides. One side has a small, broken knob indicating the original presence of a loop at that point. The axe is quite worn and much of the original surface is missing. The remaining areas have a smooth, dark, brownish patina. The other areas of the surface of the metal are rougher and have a green-brown colouring.Length 74.2mm, width (across cutting edge) 36.4mm, width (at break - just where the attachment loop would have been) 26.9mm, depth (at break) 23.1mm, weight 89.4g
