Western Asiatic, Ca. 1200-700 BC. A bronze axe head with a curved blade, tapering cheek and a circular socket with four protrusions to the rear. The design of the axe head is indicative of the period's emphasis on utilitarianism, with its sturdy construction and sharp edges allowing it to be used for a number of purposes. This axe head is an example of the skill and craftsmanship required to create such a durable tool. It speaks to the technological capabilities of the region during the time and suggests a level of sophistication in the manufacture of tools and weapons.Size: L:80mm / W:100mm ; 335gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.
