Description: | A complete copper alloy Middle Bronze Age unlooped palstave. The blade tapers to a splayed end. The sides of the flanges are pointed oval in shape, with a rectangular socket on each side. Rather than a stop ridge, the socket terminates in a V-shape pointing towards the blade and has a semi-circular depression ('shield') moulded in the surface of the blade at that end. There has been a small amount of loss to the butt end.
This resembles a palstave of 'Werrarr' type in Salisbury Museum (Moore and Rowlands 1972, 18) dated to the late Middle 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: | -1500
