Title
Bronze Age Palstave
Description
English: A cast copper alloy palstave axe of Middle Bronze Age date. The looped palstave measures 147mm in length by 55.2mm (width across cutting edge) by 35.6mm and weighs 389g. The cutting edge is crescentic with a wide edge bevel and there is a single central linear moulding on both sides of the blade which starts 27mm from the cutting edge and ends close to the stop ridge. The stop is squared and the side flanges are high, although one side is more worn that the other. There is a faint casting seam along the centre of the sides of the blade and flange. The palstave belongs to the Taunton phase of metalworking. It has a rich dark green patina, although the parts of the surface are pitted and some of the edges are damaged.
