Early Bronze Age bronze dagger
Early Bronze Age Wessex dagger of Camerton-Snowshill Series. The dagger is incomplete, missing the hilt and is slightly distorted. The dagger thickens at its centre to form a prominent, rounded midrib which narrows and becomes more angular towards the tip. The dagger is decorated with two prominent grooves beginning at the butt and converging along the midrib. There is a suggestion of a third outer groove at the butt.
