Title |
Single view of a Leaf Shaped Razor. |
||
Description |
English: A Late Bronze Age copper-alloy leaf-shaped razor. The razor has a leaf-shaped blade with the side edges forming the cutting edges. There is a slight central mid-rib on one face, running the length of the blade. Usually this mid-rib is quite prominent, but this is not the case on this example. In profile, the blade is bent at one tip at 45 °. Protruding from one tip is an integral rectangular sectioned tang. The tang tapers and the tip is curled. The surface of the razor is just developing a slight green/brown coloured patina. One face has more patina on the surface than the other, but there is no active corrosion. The razor measures 107.9mm long, 33.2mm wide and the thickness of the tang is 2.9mm. It weighs 28.16g. Bronze Age razors were first classified by Hodges (1956) as Class IV, a possibly derivative of Class I. |
