Title
Bronze Age: Palstave
Description
English:

A fragment of a Middle Bronze Age copper-alloy palstave axehead of uncertain type (1500-1150 BC).

 This fragment is an incomplete blade which is now sub-triangular in plan. Some of the breaks appear to be recent.

The sides of the blade flare evenly from the break at the top which has occurred just beneath the missing stop. The cutting edge is missing. On each broad face a central vertical mid-rib diminishes in width towards the bottom. One edge has a prominent casting seam. A casting seam is not present on the other edge but may have been hammered down.

This palstave has bronze disease and patches of a brown patina.

Length: 61.0mm; width: 41.4mm; thickness: 17.1mm. Weight: 89.92g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Isle of Wight
