Description
English: A complete but damaged copper alloy razor of Bronze Age date. The blade of the razor is leaf-shaped with narrowed sides forming the cutting edges. A tapering triangular raised central rib is present on both sides of the razor extending from the tang to the point of the blade. The tang itself is rectangular and thin terminating in a flared, fan shape. The razor is bent over roughly half way along its length with a wide break.

The metal has a mid blackish-green patina and is worn. The razor is 46.2mm long (bent), 27.2mm wide, 3.2mm thick and weighs 16.9g.
