Description: | Socket fragment, with loop, from a bronze socketed axehead. Apart from a slight mouth moulding there is no external decoration visible, although as the axehead is heavily encrusted with hard soil and corrosion it is possible that some decoration exists underneath. There is a prominent vertical cast seam running from the socket to the worn break down the inside of the main tool face. The main face is somewhat bent and twisted at the break. No obvious hammer breakage marks, but again it is possible that the encrustations are masking these. Pale to mid green patina. Surviving length 40 mm; surviving width, including loop, 33 mm; surviving thickness, 17 mm. Late Bronze Age. | 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: | -1000
