Item Details

Description

Circa 1000 - 1100 A.D. The broad blade flaring to the curved cutting edge, with eared socket with D-shaped aperture. Commonly referred to as the Danish axe. For similar style see Bonhams, 5th October 2011, lot 304. Axes were commonly used within the Viking communities, almost everything was formed of wood making it unsurprising that many axes existed for constructing ships, houses, carts, as well as other objects. The axe was also one of the choice weapons of the battlefield due to its light weight. Size: L:45mm / W:130mm ; 570g. Provenance: Private UK collection; Formerly acquired on the European art market from pre-2000 collections.
