Title
Bronze Age - Flat Axe
Description
English: This is a very fine early Bronze Age (1800-1100BC) flat axe in copper alloy. The axe is thickened to the middle section with a very well developed recurved or splayed blade. The face of the axe has a parallel sides leading to the butt, which is square and taken to an 'edge', which may have been useable.

Not withstanding the very well executed recurved blade, the axe shows no sign of having been 'flanged'. The blade has signs of use with some chipping away of the curve. The face sides behind the blade edge are also marked with lines/gauges being perpendicular to, and at an angle to the natural cutting action.

Overall, the axe is heavily pitted with a dark green/black patina.
