Description: | Small mouth fragment of a socketed bronze axe, representing one upper face and part of one upper side. The axe has a prominent mouth moulding, the top of which is heavily eroded, removing any trace of runner stubs. Three converging ribs descend from the mouth moulding. The width and contours of the face suggest the axe was slender with a sub-rectangular section with rounded corners. None of the loop or casting seams survives. The fragment has worn edges with light green patches of corrosion. The fragment surfaces have a green patination except between the ribs, where the surface is black.
