Description
Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Viking or Norse culture, ca. 800 to 1100 CE. A forged-iron axe head of an interesting form with a curved tip along the lower portion of the blade edge.

Provenance: ex-Sedona, Arizona, USA collection; ex-private German collection, acquired on the European art market
