Title
Axe Head
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy Late Bronze Age socketed axehead. Only the blade end and part of its body survive. The socket aperture is sub rectangular in shape. However, the socket aperture has been broken with one side bent inward, distorting its shape. A casting seam is also visible on one side. The blade is slightly worn as evidenced by a small chip near the centre and blunted corners of the blade. One face and both sides of the blade are of a dark brown patina, with areas of light green patina. The other face is of a light green patina (especially towards the blade edge) with dark brown patina in the middle. The socket is patinated a light orange/yellow colour.
