Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Late Bronze Age socketed razor (probably). The blade is triangular in shape and one side-edge appears to be missing. The blade is apparantly 15.5mm long to the chamfered cutting edge, much of which is worn/ broken away.
Below the socket the blade is 33.5mm wide and 4.8mm thick, being triangular in section so thinning to the cutting edge. The blade is separated from the socket by a light incised groove beneath it on booth sides.
The socket is v-shaped in section and to the break, 3.6mm high. At this point it is 4.4mm wide. At the surviving edge, the socket appears to curve round it.
The socket is set at a slight angle, presumably useful for a cutting implement.
The incomplete object measures 41.4x20.9x4.8mm and weighs 14.48g. | 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: | -1200
