Description: | A cast copper-alloy leaf shaped razor of the Middle or Late Bronze Age, about 1500 BC - 800 BC.The razor is incomplete, but what remains indicates the object was leaf-shaped in plan and a very thin pointed oval in section. The tip of the blade is missing, as is most of the tang. The edges of the blade have chipped and corroded away, leaving an irregular, jagged edge to both sides of the blade. Compare NCL-71EF23, DUR-E58572 and BH-EBD380. The metal has a well developed dark green patina with some pitting. The breaks are also patinated.The razor is 75.9mm long, 25.8mm wide and 2.6mm thick. It weighs 21.24g.
