Description: | Bronze axe of Arreton Down type. Expanded cutting edge, now asymmetrical; there are indications of small raised flanges down each side of the blade. It is likely that these were raised by hammering and not cast. The blade tapers, from its mid-point, towards both the cutting edge and butt. Most of the surface has been lost to corrosion but enough survives to show that the faces of the axe were not decorated. c. 1800 - 1400 BC. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
