A Late Bronze Age (1150-800 BC) tanged chisel, measuring 89.79mm in length and weighing 28.6g.
The tang measures 7.34x7.13mm where it joins the body of the chisel, and narrows and thins to 5.83x1.85mm at the other end. Casting flashes are visible and worn down where it joins the collar.
The collar is a square-ish circle in cross-section (11.46x10.65mm), with the concave sides of the blade below extending from it and flaring to an expanded curved cutting edge 19.64mm wide.
