| Title |
Bronge Age palstave axe |
||
| Description |
English: Bronze Age cast copper alloy early palstave axe of the Acton Park type dating to 1600-1500 BC. The axe is of an early palstave form with very low flanges but the charateristic stop ridge.
The axe is highly corroded and details are partly obscured; one side is worn almost completely flat. The attachment end curves and a corner was broken off in the past; this break has the same patina as the rest of the axe. Between the attachment end and the stop ridge one side is corroded completely flat with no remaining flanges; on the other side the centre is concave with the edges projecting slightly to form small flanges. On the less corrosed side the stop ridge is clearly curved away from the attachment end, on the other side it is still visible but appears almost straight. Beyond the stop ride the sides start curving out gradually. On the corroded side it appears flat but on the less corroded side there is a clear shield pattern with an indented area infront of the stop ridge narrowing to a point up the blade. The blade widens and thins from 26.2mms wide by 13.9mm thick by the stop ridge to 48.6mm wide by 8.3mm thick just before the cutting edge. The cutting edge is slightly reinforced on the less corroded side before narrowing to the edge. The axe weighs 246 grams and is 130.0mm long. |
