Item Details
Description
Ca. 900–700 BC. Koban-Caucasian Culture. A beautiful bronze flat axe, with a crescentic blade and a long butt. Excellent condition. The Koban culture was a tribal culture in the Central Caucasus during the transitional period from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age which produced high levels of applied art. Koban findings confirm that the Koban culture was in constant communication and exchange not only with Caucasian neighbours, but also with the tribes of the Crimea, the Northern Black Sea, Asia Minor, and especially with other important centres of bronze metallurgy â€â€œ Luristan (Western Iran) and the Carpathian-Danube area (Austria, Bohemia, Bavaria). For more information on Koban axes, see Przeworski S. (1939). Die Metallindustrie Anatoliens in der Zeit von 1500-700 vor Chr., Leiden. Provenance: Viennese collection 1980s-2000s. Bought by Londoner collector in Vienna in 2002. Size: L:127mm / W:63mm ; 215g
