Description: | An incomplete copper alloy blade. A possible knife blade or razor. A short section of blade with a flat cross section at the top and a slightly lentoid section at the break. The edges are beveled. There is a deliberately flattened area on one edge and there is a notch in the edge below in. The edges are damaged and abraded. Peter Reavill suggests that it is likely to be from a sword or dirk blade, and that the deliberate straight edge to one face means it is possibly the trapezoidal hilt of a Middle Bronze Age dirk (c. 1400 - 1000 BC.Date: Middle to Late Bronze Age - c. 1400-800 BC Dimensions: 42.81 mm x 22.40 mm x 2.06 mmWeight: 6.98 g
