Description
Greece, ca. 2000 BCE. This is a beautifully formed, early double bronze axe head with slight curving bits at each point of the axe head to better stick into an enemy. This type of axe head, known as a labrys, is also a symbol commonly associated with female deities and with the Minoan civilization; on Crete, it was probably a symbol for the matriarchal elements of creation. Comes with custom stand. Size: 5.5" L x 2.4" W (14 cm x 6.1 cm).
