Item Details

Description

Ca. 2000-700 BC. A cast bronze axe head with a downwards-facing blade curled back into a neat volute and a reinforced rounded poll with four spikes on the reverse. Bronze weaponry production flourished in western Asia, the Aegean, and Mainland Greece from the 2nd millennium BC to about 700 BC, when it was gradually replaced by iron. Swords, spears, and arrows were important symbols of war in Greek Bronze Age societies and served as powerful reminders that authority rested in the hands of those who could earn it. Superb condition, on a custom-made stand. Size: L:60mm / W:70mm ; 554g Provenance: Private UK collection; Formerly acquired on the European art market from pre-2000 collections.
