Title
Bronze Age knife blade (front and back views)
Description
English: A fragment of a cast bronze blade (possibly from a knife), dating to the Bronze Age, between 2150 - 800 BC(length: 70.5mm; width: 13.5mm; thickness: 3mm; weight: 13.1g).

The blade fragment is sub-rectangular in plan and mostly flat in section. As a result of wear and corrosion, a slightly bevelled edge sloping down to the cutting edge at either side of the artefact's length can be seen on one side only. There are no other features visible on the blade, which is in a worn and corroded condition with a patchy dark green patina.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Staffordshire
