Description: | Fragment of a cast bronze socketed axe. Length 37mm, width 18mm and 26mm thick. The shape of the fragment from the top corner of the axe suggests that the mouth of the socket, in plan, was square with rounded corners. There is a single and robust mouth moulding with a much less pronounced collar about 3mm below the bottom of the mouth moulding. The "walls" of the axe are 2-3mm thick and there is a patchy green patina on all surfaces, inlcuding the breaks. | 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
