Title
Late Bronze Age leaf-shaped razor
Description
English: Probable late Bronze Age razor; Copper alloy, flat, leaf-shaped blade with longitudinal hammer marks on both faces. Blade tapers to both edges, suggesting a cutting edge on both sides. The base of a narrow tang is present, although the rest of the tang is missing.

Length 77.7mm, width 27.4mm, thickness 2.6mm, weight 19.60g

This artefact does not have the prominent central ridges of the most typical Bronze Age leaf-shaped razors. Also, the tang can be very indicative for identification and that element is missing from this example. However, the shape, size and patina, when compared to other examples, have provided this identification.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Nottinghamshire
