Description: | A complete late Bronze Axe socketed axe measuring 98.42mm in length and weighing 193g. The axe is in reasonable condition although the blade is damaged and appears to be laminating. There is also much surface iron staining and patches of the surface are missing in a number of places. There are surface scratches on one side only. The socket at the rim measures 30.72mm x 28.17mm. The axe is a dull olive brown except for the base of the socket which is patinated bright green.The axe is of Southeastern type. It has a slight swelling collar level with the top of the loop. The axe appears unused as the stubs of both runners (where the molten metal led into the mould) project above the socket, and the seams have not been filed smooth.
