U Number : 8034
Description (Catalog Card) : Copper axe.
Type XI [drawing]
Blade of the usual type, but instead of a solid socket the metal is simply bent round the haft and welded, the sides brought over the two edges of the blade & hammered in.
When found, there were remains of coarse matting on either side of the blade : it might have been merely wrapped in matting, but it also might have had a matting sheath.
