A nice example of a utilitarian bronze axe head of a minimalist form with a broad, trapezoidal blade emanating from in front of the ovoid socketing shaft. The vertical blade edge indicates this axe head was used for shaping and carving rather than maiming and killing. Mottled brown and green patina has formed across the tool. Size: 6.9" L x 3.25" H (17.5 cm x 8.3 cm)
