Title
Bronze Age palstave axe
Description
English: Bronze Age palstave axe dating from the Wilburton or Penard phases, c.1300-1000 BC.

It is mostly complete although the upper part is so worn that no flanges remain and it ends in a rounded point. The stop is still visible on both sides although one side is much more worn than the other. Below the stop on the least worn side, 3 raised vertical ribs can be seen. The blade is mostly complete although it is slightly uneven and it is possible the cutting edge has broken off.

There was possibly a side loop on one side where something can be seen but it is not clear due to the amount of wear. A casting seam can also be seen along this side.

The surface is uneven all over due to corrosion. It is brown and green in colour in patches.
