Copper alloy, 105 grams; 62.83 mm. Circa 2000-1000 BC. A stunning well preserved socketed gauge of circular section with a wide plain un-moulded mouth and expanded cutting edge. This cutting edge is very wide for a tool of this size and is the first we have seen of this type. Ref: for similar gauges see Antiquities from Europe and the Near East in the collection of The Lord McAlpine of West Green, page 108. A rare example in extremely fine condition. Found Lincolnshire.
