Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy rapier of Middle Bronze Age date. A short length of the blade survives intact but with damage to the blade edges and terminating at both ends in old breaks. It is rectangular in form and oval in section with a raised mid-rib that has a central rib flanked by two flutes and side ribs. The blade outside the side ribs is thinner than the ribs and extends towards cutting edges that have suffered from extensive post-depositional damage and are now mostly incomplete. The entire object has a dark brown patina and measures 64.02mm in length, 23.12mm in width, 4.55mm in thickness and 28.66g in weight. This is a fragment from a rapier blade. It is of Middle Bronze Age date, c.1600-1150 BC.
