Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Canaan, the Levant, Middle Bronze Age, ca. 1950 to 1539 BCE. A finely shaped, bronze flat axe head with the "duckbill" design -- two ovoid openings near the tear-drop shaped socket. It was made using the lost wax casting process. Comes with custom stand. Size: 4.45" W x 1.75" H (11.3 cm x 4.4 cm); height on stand: 4" (10.2 cm).

This piece would be wonderful for a fan of Biblical Archaeology. This is in the style of axe heads from Hazor, which is described in the Book of Joshua as the head of the Canaanite city-states, and the site of one of Joshua's most important victories in the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land. Archaeological expeditions from 1955 to 1958 CE revealed Middle and Late Bronze age temples, palaces, and fortifications, as well as a range of artifacts including cuneiform tablets, ivory objects, a basalt statue of a god, and bronze items like this one.

Provenance: Ex-Kavet Collection, Massachusetts, acquired 1975

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
