Title
Socketed Axe
Description
English: Blade fragment of a Late Bronze Age socketed axe probably of Ewart Park metalwork (c. 1000 – 800BC), but of indiscernible type. The fragment was broken in antiquity at the bottom of the socket. There are no ribs present on either face, although little of the face is represented on the fragment. The blade edge is slightly recurved. The casting flashes are visible down both sides and have been neatly finished, probably by hammering. Axe sharpening striations are visible beneath the patination running along the blade on both faces. The fragment is in relatively good condition, with an area of the blade edge surviving and a brown to dark brown patina covering the fragment.
