Title |
Bronze Age palstave (fragment) |
||
Description |
English: A fragment of a copper-alloy palstave of middle Bronze Age date.
The fragment, which appears to have been broken off in antiquity, consists of the top piece of the implement's attachment end. The width and thickness extend gradually from the irregular top edge to the point of the break. On both sides of the axe a ridge extends along each vertical edge, increasing in height towards the point of the break. The upper and lower surfaces are flat, as are the narrower outer surfaces, which bear a central casting seam. The artefact has a mid green patina. The metal at the top is dark grey in colour, possibly indicating a high lead content. The piece measures 36.1mm long, 24.9mm wide and 16.7mm thick. It weighs 51.36g. |
