They both cut along the two lower lines of shield decoration and the patina has not survived showing how deep and purposeful these cuts are. Cutting edge very worn. Butt of axe also worn/ a little broken. Middle Bronze Age, prob. of Acton Park date. Length 154mm, Weighs 327g (to nearest gram). | 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: | -1450
