More model informationAn incomplete copper alloy flat axehead, probably dating from the Early Bronze Age period (c. BC 2350 - c. BC 2050).
The axe is broadly rectangular in plan with a slightly splayed crescentric blade. In profile and in section the object is broadly lentoid. The sides of the axe gently taper outwards with a shallow curve, from the rounded butt to the blade. The curve is less shallow towards the blade. The axehead has suffered significant loss from corrosion on all surfaces, particularly at the blade and the butt.
