Title
Bronze Age Casting Jet
Description
English:
A cast copper-alloy casting jet of probabl Late Bronze Age date (1150 Bc-800 BC).

This casting jet has a single runner and an uneven, roughly flat surface, at the top. It is sub-circular in plan with a domed lower part. These jets are commonly the result of socketed axe production in the Late Bronze Age. However, they can also be as late as the post-Medieval period.

The object has a green patina that has exfoliated in places.
