Title
Bronze Age sword fragment
Description
English: A fragment of a sword dating to the Middle to Late Bronze Age, c. 1200-750 BC.

The fragment consists of a section of the sword blade. It is much damaged along its outer surface, which has resulted in its present rectilinear shape, with rounded corners and distinct notches visible in the cutting edges of the blade. It was originally more clearly lozengiform in cross section, but the central rib still survives clearly on the upper surface, although it is less obvious on the more worn lower surface. 

Measurements: 74.6mm length, 24.37mm width, 6.45mm thickness, weight 46.6g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Devon
Date between 1200 BC and 750 BC
