Title |
An incomplete tip of a Bronze Age socketed axehead, dating from c. 1050-600 BC. |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete tip of a cast bronze socketed axehead, dating from c. 1050-600 BC (length: 24.9mm; width: 45.8mm; thickness: 12.4mm; weight: 54.10g). This rounded tip has a very blunted and possibly unfinished blade and only a small part of the bottom of the socket mouth is visible as a slight sub-rectangular indentation. This artefact is in a worn and poor condition with a patchy dark brown patina remaining, although the object seems to have been coated in a substance. In 'Guide Catalogue of the Bronze Age', savory states that the socketed axe-head represents a change both in the method of hafting and the method of production. This involves the adoption of a handle with a single knee-shaft prong, as well as the use of hollow casting and the 'cire perdue' process. |
