Record ID: YORYM-BA7EA1
Object type: AXE
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy axe of probable medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1500. The head of the axe is sub-trapezoidal, flaring slightly to the cutting edge, and flattened due to damage at the butt end. An integral circular sectioned shaft projects from the head tapering from a wide butt end to a rounded point atop the axe head.
The metal has a light brown/white patina and is worn. The object is 38.7mm long, 23.2mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 29.5g.
For such objects Geoff Egan (PAS Finds Advisor) suggested that there are several of these plain axes known, both here (UK) and more in Scan…

Workflow stage: Published
Cast lead alloy miniature axe of probable medieval date (1200-1550). The axe is a scale model of a battle-style axe of the medieval period. It is cast in one piece with an integrally cast transverse hole through the butt. In shape the axe is irregular in plan with a rectangular butt and expanded blade; in profile it is broadly sub-triangular. The two faces of the butt are similarly shaped in plan; however, one face is much flatter than the other. This is probably due to the method of casting and shape of the mould used. The butt of the axe is square in section and the hole seems to ha…
