7th C. Viking / Anglo-Saxon Iron Axe Head

Item Details

Description

Ancient Northern Europe, Viking or Anglo-Saxon, ca. 7th to 9th century CE. A forged-iron axe head with a vertical, slightly curved blade extending off a lateral arm. The central socketing shaft features a pair of protruding flanges on the top and bottom peripheries that enabled a more secure fit when bound to its handle with hide wrappings. The drooping, 'bearded' design of the blade was meant to increase the surface area of each strike as well as for pulling large objects. The blade was also used when boarding enemy ships by effectively acting as a grappling hook. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 5.7" L x 4.625" H (14.5 cm x 11.7 cm)

Provenance: ex-estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000
