Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Ancient Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Dong Son culture, ca. 1000 BCE to 100 CE. A cast leaded-bronze axe head with a rectangular body and four flat faces that taper to a sharpened and curved blade edge. A small perforation through the center serves as an attachment hole for adding a handle or pole to the blade. A pretty green patina coats the surface.
