Description
Western/Central Europe, Middle Bronze Age, ca. 1300 BCE. A cast-leaded-bronze sickle blade that was used for utilitarian and agrarian purposes but could perhaps also double as a battlefield weapon. The curved blade has a single sharpened edge along the interior periphery, a thick spine with a shallow fuller, and a knob-shaped tang end that acted as a stop bar. Mottled green and dark brown patina has formed across the tool. Size: 9.7" L x 1.25" W (24.6 cm x 3.2 cm)
