Description: | An incomplete Bronze Age cast copper alloy hog's back knife or razor. The knife has a slightly curved cutting edge and a curved back, which meet a point. There is a perforation near the back. The object is in good condition, retaining fairly sharp edges and limited patina. Green and red patina has formed on both sides of the object, both closer to the cutting edge, however the bronze still shows through the patina throughout most of this object. The knife is about half of what the original object would have been. Similar knives have been found in the Boughton Malherbe Hoard 2011/T464, KENT-15A293. The knife is 42.74 mm long, 42.97 mm wide, 6.04 mm thick and weighs 37.53 g.
