Luristan Bronze Axe Head

Peter Reynaers

Selected by Peter Reynaers
A Luristan cast bronze axe head featuring a short and broad shaft-hole with a rib. The blade is constricted from the shaft and flares out towards the cutting edge. Minor chips to the blade. Some patination and earthly encrustation cover the surface. Luristan bronze comes from the province of Lorestan. Axe heads, such as this nice example, would have been used in everyday life but also buried together with the deceased. Measurements: Circa W 12.5 cm x H 7 cm Provenance: Ex. London Collection, formed between 1990 - present.
