    Luristan Bronze Socketted Adze-Axehead
    2nd-1st millennium B.C.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £117

    Comprising a triangular-section blade with a curved cutting edge and a rectangular-section blade with a gently curving cutting edge flanking a round socket. 741 grams, 19 cm



    Ex Abelita family collection, 1980s-2000s.

    The adze-axe was a fundamental weapon of many Bronze Age cultures around the world. The form lends itself to dual purposes - for war and peace. As a tool, it was used for fabricating wood; as a weapon, its heavy mass and compact form make it a deadly striking and chopping weapon, even able to defeat light armour.
