Title |
A cast bronze blade fragment of a palstave or flat axe, dating to the Bronze Age between c. 2500-700 BC. |
||
Description |
English: A cast bronze blade fragment of a probable palstave (or flat) axehead (length: 30.8mm; width at blade tip: 54.8mm; thickness: 11mm; weight: 72.61g). The fragment is broken (probably in antiquity) in a roughly straight line after the blade has curved inwards from the blade tip. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition with some areas of the original patina remaining which is dark brown in colour. Flat and palstave axes were produced in this country from the Early-Late Bronze Age period (c. 2500-700 BC), with flat axes manufactured at the beginning and progressing into palstave axes. |
