Ancient British Isles Bronze Palstave Axe Head

Item Details

Description

Ancient Northern Europe, British Isles, Atlantic Bronze Age, ca. late 2nd to early 1st millennium BCE. A mold-cast bronze axe head of sturdy design with a flared blade head and a hafting wedge meant to accommodate a bifurcated haft. A raised trident design is presented on each side of the neck, perhaps as an element of personalization. An axe head is denoted as "palstave" if it is hafted using a split (rather than single-pronged) wooden handle held in place by projecting flanges. Great green patina envelops the axe head. Size: 6.125" L x 1.125" W x 1.9" H (15.6 cm x 2.9 cm x 4.8 cm); 3.625" H (9.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: ex-Royal Athena Galleries, New York City, New York, USA; ex-Paris art market, 2008; ex-private French collection
