Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
Bronze Age cast copper alloy single looped palstave. The septum is sub-rectangular, tapering towards the now broken butt end. The break is an ancient fracture, and the surviving length measures 150mm. The flanges appear to end before this break. The palstave is 35mm wide at the stop-ridge. The blade narrows and has convex sides which curves sharply to form a curved cutting edge which has a maximum width of 42mm. Below the stop-ridge is a central rib which partially extends down the length of the blade.
