Item Details

Description

Ca. 1500-1000 BC. A cast bronze double axe head, characterized by a short cylindrical shaft hole with two horizontal ridges, a flattened top, a vertical crescent-shaped blade with sides that broaden out towards the cutting edge, and a smaller horizontal adze blade to the back. This type of axe head was commonly used as a weapon and a tool for various tasks such as chopping wood, clearing land, and even in hunting and warfare. In Bronze Age societies, the production and use of tools and weapons were highly valued and played a significant role in shaping the social and economic structure of these communities. The ownership and display of such artifacts were a symbol of wealth, power, and status. Size: L:70mm / W:140mm ; 665gProvenance: From the private collection of Mr. R. Unger; previously with a London gallery; acquired in the 1980s on the UK art market.
