Title
Bronze Age palstave
Description
English: A short cast copper-alloy flanged axe with high, triangular-shaped flanges and no stop ridge. The side view shows that the flanges almost form a diamond in plan. The sides are parallel and the blade is moderately splayed. From the image supplied by the finder alone, signs of wear or re-sharpening marks are difficult to distinguish, but the uncurved/unworked flanges may suggest that, in fact, it had not received a haft and was never used.

This short flanged axe is was probably part of the Taunton metalwork assemblage dating from approximately 1400-1300BC

Many thanks to the finder for providing the image for this find.
