Object Description

A Luristan axe head cast from bronze featuring a flat blade which slightly extends outwards towards a convex cutting edge. Two outward jutting protrusions are visible at the middle of the axe on either side which likely secured the blade within a wooden pole to allow its use as a weapon or cutting tool.

Date: Circa 1800-600 BC

Object Condition

Fine condition with patination and earthly encrustation to the surface. There is a slight bend to the tip of the blade.
