Item Details

Description

Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Viking or Norse culture to Medieval period, ca. 8th to 13th century CE. A forged-iron axe head with a socketing shaft for mounting this axe head on a handle, which could have been replaced as needed- since this head was certainly built to last for generations. A black patina with russet areas covers the entire surface of this tool. The simplified design of this axe head suggests its use in utilitarian tasks, though the blade edge could certainly double as a battle-ready weapon. Size: 6" L x 3" W (15.2 cm x 7.6 cm)

Provenance: private Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA collection, acquired in 1996 via inheritance in Hollywood, Florida, USA
