Title
Bronze Age tanged chisel (incomplete)
Description
English: A copper-alloy tanged chisel of probable late Bronze Age date.

Only a remnant of the handle element survives. It is of circular section and has a vertical casting flash on each side. An inverted conical tang separates the handle from the blade. This latter element is sub-triangular in plan, having a convex cutting edge at the bottom. The thickness of the blade tapers gradually towards this cutting edge. The object is slightly corroded in places but retains a mid green patina across much of its surface.

The tool measures 47.3mm long, 23.5mm wide and 10.3mm thick. The weight is 15.7g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Bedford
Date between 1150 BC and 800 BC
