Title |
Bronze Age : Axe Illustration by Dom Andrews |
||
Description |
English: An unlooped Early Bronze Age palstave axe, cast in copper alloy.
The object was found as a single find. Much of the original surface has been lost due to corrosion and wear. It is 172mm in length. The blade is 62.5mm from tip to tip. The butt is 21.8mm from corner to corner. At the widest point (around the stop) the axe measures 26.4 x 24.1mm. The palstave has a wide blade. The cutting edge and tips are all badly worn and corroded. The tips proper have almost certainly been removed due to wear. On both surfaces of the blade a raised rim can be seen running down the centre of the blade. Next to the stop on both faces there is a shield-pattern, which itself has been decorated with vertical raised moulded lines. Six on one side and four on the other. Slight flanges can be seen on either edge of the blade. The butt end of the axe is roughly rectangular in section with prominent flanges on either face. The butt end is otherwise undecorated. Casting lines can still be seen on both flange sides. The axe is corroded due to the bronze disease and wear. The metal is therefore a mid brownish-green colour. A very similar axehead can be seen in Savory (1980), p168, Fig: 20. |
