Margiana Bronze Axehead
Margiana Bronze Axehead
Item Details
Description
Late 2nd millennium B.C. With a narrow neck and rounded bill-shaped blade, rounded wings to the socket and square-headed stud behind. Cf. Gorelik, M., Weapons of Ancient East, IV millennium BC-IV century BC, Saint Petersburg, 2003 (in Russian), pl.XXI, no.84; cf. Gernez, G., L’armament en métal au Proche et Moyen-Orient: des origines a 1750 av. J.C., Paris, 2007, fig.2.16, subtype H2.J.b. 289 grams, 18.3 cm (7 1/4 in.).

Ex Abelita family collection, 1988.

These categories of axes were of Oriental production, coming from the territories of Bactria and Margiana, occasionally imported to Elam and Luristan. The anthropomorphic and zoomorphic patterns are sometimes visible, and the button at the back of the heel (very common) is related to examples from Luristan, but the style differs markedly.
