Title
Bronze Age : Flanged Axehead
Description
English: A complete cast copper alloy flanged axehead of early Bronze Age date. The axehead is sub-rectangular with a narrow and thin rounded butt and widely curved cutting edge. From the butt the body extends, expanding slightly in width towards a splayed blade and cutting edge. There are slightly raised flanges along the sides both of which show signs of wear and the surface of the axehead around the cutting edge is quite corroded and pitted. No casting flashes are visible and may have been removed after production. The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The axehead is 126.3mm long, 70.9mm wide at the blade, 23.9mm wide at the butt end, 17mm thick and weighs 308g.
