Title
Bronze Age razor (plan, profile and plan).
Description
English: Cast copper alloy blade fragment possibly dating from the Late Bronze Age, that is c. 1500-800BC. The incomplete blade is broadly sub-triangular which expands towards the cutting edge. The cutting edge is slightly convex and the edges slope to the edge. The upper edge tapers towards a a rectangular sectioned tang which tapers to a blunt point.

The surface has a mottled dark green and brown surface.

It measures 28.03mm in width at the widest point and 3.95mm at the narrow point and 40.75mm in length, and weighs 5.5g.

The thin triangular-shaped blade suggests that this object may be either a chisel or leather-working knife.
