Title
Bronze Age flanged axe of the Arreton metalwork assemblage
Description
English: Cast copper-alloy flanged axe of the Arreton metalwork assemblage of the British early Middle Bronze Age dating from c. 1700-1500BC. The axe is complete and has an extremly widely splayed blade. The outside of the flanges bear the characteristic diagonal 'rope' decoration of axes of this type. Judging from the picture, it is complete and apart from striations and other marks of wear on the lower part of the blade, it is undamaged.

The find was not seen by FLO; photograph was kindly supplied by finder.
