Description: | A copper alloy, Bronze Age flanged axehead known as a 'Wing-flanged' axe, dating from 1600-1400BC. The axe is complete but is heavily pitted with corrosion. On one of the side flanges, there are two small circular patches which may be the remains of a fixing point for a loop. It is 106mm long, 43.2mm wide (across the blade edge) and 27.9mm thick. It weighs 188.4gm. Two similar (unprovenanced) parallels can be seen in Nicholson, S, 1980, Catalogue of the Prehistoric Metalwork in Merseyside County Museums, page 87, Numbers 200 & 201. | 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: | -1600
