Description: | Bronze flat axe, unworn and in very fresh condition. It is pointed oval in its longitudinal section tapering from the centre to either end, and curving a little more towards the relatively wide and splayed cutting edge creating a very slight ridge c.22mm before it. The butt-end tapers to a thin but blunt edge. The cutting edge has suffered very minor damage and is still relatively sharp, with slight recent damage on one side. The sides of the axe are evenly curved and concave, flaring at the cutting end so that the blade curves slightly upwards at each corner, and tapering towards the butt-end swelling very slightly just before the rounded end. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -2250
