To compliment the Bronze Age axe, the pupils at Bushfield Road Infant School (Scunthorpe) had chosen a Stone Age axe-head to be carved on the tree stump; I adapted the idea at the last minute as I thought the axe-head alone would look a bit ambiguous (see photo) and may appear to be a giant floating triangle. I looked at the museum’s display and decided to use the example with a reconstructed handle. which balanced nicely with the Bronze Age axe below.<\/p>\n

Once I’d worked on the Stone Age axe I altered the Bronze Age one, just narrowing the blade and the handle a little.<\/p>\n

The next item was an Iron Age harness mount, a nice-looking symmetrical object found at Dragonby, North Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n

I spent a bit of time leveling out the surface between the Jurassic carvings and these newer pieces; there are going to be some background patterns which will bring the carvings together and make each item look less isolated. Next job is to finish the harness mount though!<\/p>\n
