Item Details

Description

Ca. 1200-700 BC A Luristan cast axe head comprising of a tubular socket and a crescentic-shaped blade with a convex edge.Bronze weaponry production flourished from the 2nd millennium BC to about 700 BC when it was gradually replaced by iron. Swords, mace heads, spears and arrows were exchanged via trade and war and are discovered in both civic and ritual contexts. An axe head such as this one would have been an important symbol of rank, and have served a purpose in warfare, but also in religious contexts as axes were common votive offerings in shrines.Size: L:180mm / W:160mm ; 1.09kgProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
