Description: | A small copper-alloy flat axehead in an early Bronze Age style. The axe is possibly a chisel axe used for fine carpentry work, but is could also be votive. The axe tapers outwards to the blade edge and has a rounded butt end. Both surfaces are slightly curved with straight edges. In profile the axe has a thin butt, which thickens slightly towards the main body and then thins again at the blade. The metal is mottled mid greyish-green in colour and heavily pitted.There are no signs of re-working.
