Title
Early Bronze Age flat axe
Description
English: A worn copper-alloy flat axe of the early to middle Bronze Age.

The blade end is crescentic in form, flaring to either side of the axe. The cutting edge is damaged in places but otherwise is in good condition. It has a flat, rectangular body that gradually tapers towards the butt end. Half way along the axe on either side is a shallow stop-ridge that seem to be early forms of the more prominant versions seen on palstaves.

The axe has patches of a brownish patina; the surface is smooth and in good condition.
