Summary edit

Description
English: Cast copper alloy blade fragment probably dating from the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, that is c. 1000-600BC. The incomplete blade is broadly sub-triangular which expands towards the cutting edge. There are two horizontal fine incisions on one blade face, the other is undecorated. The artefact narrows towards the missing tang. The thin triangular-shaped blade suggests that this object was either a chisel or leather-working knife or else, a single-edges 'Hallstatt' razor with two or one small loop at the top.

The artefact is 16.4mm in length, 24.3mm wide, 1.95mm thick (max) 1.15mm thick at the blade and weighs 2.0 grams.
