Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
Ancient Near East, Northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A petite socketed bronze axe head with a tubular hafting shaft, a plateaued and flared butt end, and a thick blade end which gradually tapers to a curved, vertical edge. While most Luristan axe heads are hefty and sizeable, this example is rather rare due to its diminutive size. Covered in a beautiful layer of light- and dark-green patina, this is truly a wonderful and noteworthy weapon! Size: 4" L (10.2 cm).
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection
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.
