    Circa 3rd-2nd millennium B.C.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £59

    Comprising a wedge-shaped blade and piriform handle. 156 grams, 17.7 cm



    UK private collection formed before 2000. Ex North London, UK, gallery.

    These blades were fitted directly to the handle or via a sheath. Flat axes, whose axis is parallel to that of the handle, often had a rounded edge like in our specimen, or a flared and bevelled edge, while flat adzes have an axis perpendicular to that of the handle and a bevel edge on one side only. Their shape comes directly from the lithic axes of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods.
