Item Details
Description
9th-8th century B.C. Featuring a convex cutting edge and wedge-shaped cheeks with crescentic blade; socket damaged in antiquity. Cf. MacGregor, A., Antiquities from Europe and the Near East in the collection of the Lord McAlpine of West Green, Ashmolean Museum, 1987, nos.11.12-11.21, for the typology. 88 grams, 63 mm (2 1/2 in.).

UK gallery, early 2000s.

The remains of the axe seem to be linked with the Welby type or closely related to it. During the Ewart Park period of the Late Bronze Age (LBA II, 9th-8th century B.C.) there were several regional varieties of ribbed socketted axes. The Welby type was mainly distributed in southern and eastern England. [No Reserve]
