Item Details
Description
Ca. AD 900 - 1100
A Medieval iron axe head with a short, linear blade bearing a sharpened edge. The socketed end is for mounting this axe head on a shaft or handle, which could be replaced as needed. A black patina with russet areas covers the entire surface of this tool. The simplified design of this axe head suggests its use in utilitarian tasks, though the blade edge could certainly double as a battle-ready weapon.
Size: 100mm x 210mm; Weight: 1.1kg
Provenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
