Description: | Cast copper alloy socketed Bronze Age axe dating from c.1200-800BC.It is mostly complete with the side loop remaining. The blade is angular, possibly due to wear/breakage. It has a square cross-section with a raised collar at the mouth. The surface is worn and so it is not possible to tell how many ribs there were. There is a casting seam on the side where the loop is. There are also 2 casting seams visible on the inside of the axe. It has a green/brown patina with patches of orange which may indicate there was iron buried nearby.
