Object Description
A fine European Bronze Age socketed axe head with a rectangular body tapering to a slightly convex cutting edge. A thick corded ridge frames the socketed mouth, which is strengthened by a thicker slightly uneven rim. The casting seam is visible on both the top and bottom of the axe from where the two pieces have been fixed together. A small loop has been attached to the lower section of the axe. A small perforated hole is visible to one side. A beautiful light blue patina covers the surface. The axe head is accompanied by a custom-made stand.
