Title
Bronze Age palstave axe
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy palstave axe of the Middle Bronze Age, 1500 BC-1150 BC.

The axe is very worn and corroded, though it is nearly complete. The crescent-shaped blade tapers at its shoulders to the butt of the axehead. A very narrow stop is visible on the septum, but there is no trace of anything other than minor flanges over the septum of the axe. The butt has suffered some minor damage to its rounded end. There is no evidence for a loop on the upper face of of the axehead.

The surface is relatively smooth, but still pitted and uneven in its condition.
