Description: Well preserved. Altogether there are 10 of these celts.  The measurements do not vary more than 1 or 2mm. 6 of them are so similar in detail (and flaws) that they are obviously from the same mould.  The other 4 are slightly smaller (23mm edge 73mm long and 20mm socket) and moreover have a second ridge near the haft as indicated in sketch. These 4 are from one mould. The dotted lines show the necessary adjustment for the four smaller celts.
