Title
blade
Description
English: A cast copper alloy object. This is probably a blade of Bronze Age date, suggested by the patina of the copper alloy. The object is triangular in section, being 6mm thick at its widest and tapering to a sharp narrow convex edge. The widest edge is slightly convex. It is eliptical in plan.

it is 41mm long, 13mm wide and 66mm thick. It weighs 8.66g.

No exact replica has been found for this object. It is possibly the blade edge of a Bronze Age axe head. However, the wede edge is very regular and unliley to be a broken edge. The Bronze Age Finds Advisor of teh British Museum has been asked for an opinion and possible parallels and this record will be updated on his reply.
