Title
Bronze Age - South Eastern/hallstatt - Socketed
Description
English: Here we have a near complete Bronze Age socketed axehead circa 1100BC with unusually clean lines not unlike the South-Eastern class A. The mouth of the socket is sub-rectangular with a single square form moulding at the top edge, beneath that is an attachment loop, now broken. In plan view, the axe has parallel sides that are then subtly flared to give the blade form. The blade edge appears worn and is now showing signs of corrosion.

The lower surfaces of the blade have scratches perpendicular to a cutting action and to one side.

The overall impression is that this axe is from the Hallstatt A2 phase, perhaps Wilburton in its simplistic yet elegant style. The axe has a pleasant dark green patina with some iron staining; there is also a small casting flaw to the narrow side, opposite the loop.
