Description: | A copper alloy flat axe fragment dating from the Early Bronze Age (2150 BC - 1500 BC). Only the cutting end survives. The butt is missing due to an ancient and well worn break across the middle of the axe. The break has taken half the surface of one face too. The axe head is rectangular in section. The cutting edge is flared at the sides but damaged. The surfaces of the axe are pitted and corroded, with a well developed green patina.
