Title
Middle Bronze Age Palstave
Description
English: Middle Bronze Age unlooped palstave in very fresh condition, the surface covered in a rich shiny brown patination except where interrupted by pock marks, a few more recent minor chips and some scuffing on the edges. Below the stop ridge a low rib defines a shield-shaped motif from below the base of which a median arris extends as far as the start of the cutting edge. Both sides bear very clear and overall hammer marks, along the edges and transverse across the centre. As a result there is no casting seam. There are smaller hammer impressions along the tops of the flanges and of the stop ridge. Weight 454g. Length 161mm. Width 70mm. Thickness 28mm. c.1600 - c.1000 BC.
