Object Description
A fine, Luristan, cast bronze, double-headed, adze-axe head. The weapon features a short, cylindrical shaft hole with a flattened thick rim which would have once held a wooden hilt or handle. The flattened top of the axehead broadens to the horizontal convex cutting edge on one side and a vertical, curved blade on the other. A triangular groove runs from the shaft-hole towards the vertical blade.
