Description: | Copper-alloy flanged axe, butt end and corners of blade broken off. The axe is of light green/brown colour with some flecks of original golden surface coming through where the patina has peeled off.
It is not a very good casting, because the halves of the mould were not fitted very well: Looking at the axe from the side, the flanges are at a slightly different height and position.
The axe is part of the Taunton (Ornament Horizon/Glentrool/Caldonshill) metalwork tradition (e.g. Schmidt, P.K. and Burgess, C. 1981, no. 525). | 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: | -1400
