Title
Late Bronze Age socketed axehead
Description
English: A fragment of a cast copper alloy axehead of the Late Bronze Age. The axehead is broken just above the deep end of the socket. The fragment is trapezoidal in plan with a convex cutting edge, which appears complete. The object is covered with a green patina, mostly light green but with dark, shiny patches. The patina also covers the break surface, suggesting that the break is an ancient one. Apart from the break the object shows relatively little abrasion or damage.

The object is 35mm wide at the break, flaring to 46mm at the cutting edge, and 24mm in length, It is 8mm thick at the break, tapering to less than 1 mm at the cutting edge.

Similar objects on this database include SWYOR-BECF02 and SWYOR-7C54E2.
