AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very nice bronze heel-axe in good condition.
12.5 cm x 5.0 cm x 2.0 cm
1800-800 BC

I bought the heel-axe in the 1990s from an old college friend in Amsterdam (Netherlands).
He had a very large collection, and I bought several items from him and sometimes received others.

From the age of fifteen until I turned seventy, I built up a large collection of Bronze Age and Stone Age artifacts in a variety of forms, including terracotta pieces and Bronze Age urns. All of them are from Western Europe and were bought from private individuals, at auctions, collectors' markets, antique shops, and sometimes received. I am now 85 and it's time to part with my collection.

I have no authenticity certificates or receipts for the items, and I can only say that I obtained the items legally.
If you have any doubts, please do not buy.


Attention!!!!

I don't ship outside Europe.
