Item examined by Jean-Claude Alba
Such duck-bill axes were mainly produced in Egypt and Syria-Palestine during Phase IIA of the Middle Bronze Age, approximately contemporaneous with the 12th Egyptian Dynasty.
At that time, these territories were under Egyptian rule. This axe revolves around the life and era of the biblical patriarchs Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. It is therefore placed before Moses, between 300 and 500 years ago.
A axe head very similar to this one was found in a tomb from the end of the 12th Dynasty at Tell el-Daba (ancient Avaris) in the Nile Delta.
Two similar axes from the Louvre Museum in Paris were published in the catalogue "The Weapons of Ancient Egypt - The Collection of the Louvre Museum by Nathalie Couton-Perche" pages 78-79. Chat 47-048.
