Item Details
Description
Central Asia, India, Gangetic Basin, Copper Hoard Culture, ca. 1000 BCE. A set of 2 cast-copper chisels of lengthy form as well as a broad axe head of flat form.

The axe head features a slightly narrow neck in relation to the blade edge and was perhaps utilitarian in form. Each artifact is covered in naturally-occurring layers of patina in hues of green and brown. Size of largest (axe head): 7.2" L x 6.6" W (18.3 cm x 16.8 cm)
