Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Ancient Near East, Northwestern Iran, Luristan culture, ca. 1000 to 600 BCE. A hefty cast bronze pick axe or hoe head. The long blade is flat and rectangular, but the tip is curved and thin, indicating this was the cutting edge. The opposite end is perforated through for attaching this head on a shaft or handle. This blade could have been mounted horizontally for downward swings, making it a hoe, or vertically as more of an axe-like tool. The surface has developed a lovely layer of dark-brown patina across the surface with green underneath. Size: 8.25" L x 2.5" W (21 cm x 6.4 cm); 4.5" H (11.4 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection: ex-private Daryl Gruber Kulok collection, New York, New York, USA - Daryl Gruber Kulok (1960-2019) had homes in New York city and Connecticut and was fascinated with archaeology of the holy land. In America, she was on the philanthropic board of the Lila Gruber Research Foundation. Later in her life, she spent a good deal of time in Jerusalem where she was on the board of the American Friends of the Bible Lands, and was a serious collector of ancient art and artifacts. She was a student of biblical archaeology, and dedicated to supporting causes related to Israel. She was a major benefactor the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, an institution "where people of all faiths are welcome to learn and understand our shared history." She was the key contributor to "Three Faces of Monotheism," a major exhibition there in 2007 which explored shared themes between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many of the pieces she donated are part of the Bible Lands Museum permanent collection.
