Item Details

Description

11th-12th century AD. A curved miniature bronze axe-head Scandinavian type pendant (also widespread in the historical Rus region), with a long slicing blade and recurved horns to the inner edges; punched motif to the neck and blade. Cf. Korshyn, V.E. Yazcheskye Priveski Drevnei Rusi X-XIV Vekov, volume I, Moscow, 2013, item D.2.02-03. Known as an axe of Perun amulet, these are mostly found in Russia and parts of Scandinavia. They have been associated with the Slavic god Perun, the supreme deity of the pagan Slavs who shared many characteristics with the Viking Thor. Perun carried a weapon of similar shape and function to Thor's hammer, which was worn as an amulet by his followers. Two styles of Perun axe amulets are known; style I resembles a battle axe with a knob-like protrusion at one end. Type II (of which this is an example) show a symmetrically shaped broad blade with two horn-like protrusions diametrically opposite on the upper and lower side. Like Thor's hammer, they were worn to invoke the protection of the god. 8.80 grams, 48mm (2"). Property of a gentleman; acquired in the 1990s. [No Reserve]
