Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy blade of Bronze Age date, probably from a rapier or similar object. A short length of the blade from close to the tip is preserved, missing both ends and part of one wing due to old breaks. The surviving fragment is triangular in form, pointed oval in section with oval mid rib. The cutting edges are flattened and are partially incomplete due to old breaks. It measures 63.53mm in length, 18.70mm in width, 5.05mm in thickness and 16.62g in weight. This is a fragment from a cast copper-alloy object of probable Bronze Age date. It is likely to be from a blade, perhaps a rapier, but its precise form uncertain due to its preservation. It is of Bronze Age date, c.2150-800 BC.
