MEDIEVAL IRON AXE HEAD
Item Details
Description
Ca. 1400-1600 AD. Eurooean. An iron bearded axe head with a slender and long curved blade and a reinforced poll that may be used as a hammer. The cheek is decorated with some grafitti. Good condition; mounted on a custom-made stand. Bearded axes were common from the 6th century AD onwards in Scandinavia but made especially famous by the Vikings. In bearded axes, the main part of the blade extends below the butt of the axe creating a large cutting blade that allows fighters to hook onto the shields or weapons of their opponents. For more information on Viking axes, see Hubbard, B. (2016) The Viking Warrior. London: Amber Books Ltd, 139–141. Provenance: Private UK collection; Formerly acquired on the European art market from pre-2000 collections. Size: L:217mm / W:74mm ; 1.05kg
