Item Details

Description

12th-11th century B.C. With elliptical socket and slightly flaring cheeks with cutting edge. 939 grams, 17.5 cm (6 7/8 in.).

Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection.

The axe corresponds to the Maxwell-Hyslop Type 20A, similar to specimens from Ordu and purely Asiatic in inspiration. An axe from Giyan has a distinct shaft tube which is not present on the Ordu axe, but the shape of the blade is similar and it is probable that smiths travelling over the Eastern Anatolian and Persian trade routes were responsible for making these typologies of axes.
