Description: | A Middle Bronze Age midribbed shield pattern palstave axe, cast in bronze. It is 141.6mm in length. The blade is 42.1mm from tip to tip and is 50.4mm in length. The palstave has a narrow bladewith a sub circular indentation below the stop. The cutting edge and tips are all badly worn and corroded. The tips proper have almost certainly been removed due to this wear. The butt end of the axe is roughly rectangular in section with prominent flanges on either face. The butt end is otherwise undecorated. Casting lines can still be seen on both flange sides.
