Title |
Bronze age flat axe |
||
Description |
English: A Bronze Age cast copper alloy flat axehead. The butt of the axehead appears incomplete and briefly widens in profile to 6.5mm before being reduced to the blade. The length of the axehead is 62.27mm and is 30.66mm wide at the flared blade end. The tool has a brown-green patina, with a large amount of corrosion present on the surface. However, the axehead is in good condition in terms of the shape.
This flat axe with a ‘thin’ butt seems characteristic of the early Bronze Age “Migdale-Marnoch” tradition, as suggested by Britton, quoted in ‘Bronze Age metalwork in Salisbury museum (Moore and Rowlands 1972, p.13). It can be parallelled to illustration no.5 in the same text. |
