AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

青銅時代小型の青銅製斧頭で、短い円筒形の shaft(柄)を特徴とする。刃の付け根は shaft の部分で細く始まるが、外側へ張り出して湾曲した切断 edge に広がる。刃の上部はソケット部から切断 edge の先端へと先細りしている。表面には酸化皮膜と土着的な覆いが付着している。経年に伴う摩耗の痕跡(欠け、表面の傷など)も認められる。ソケット下部の小さな欠けがある。

青銅製兵器はこの金属工作の最も一般的な例を示すとともに、当時入手可能な最も優れた武器の一部であった。これらの中で、柄孔を持つ斧、鉞、掘削斧は数多く、さまざまな形態が報告され、青銅冶金の年代と発展を理解するうえで重要であった。具体的には、このような優れた斧頭の例はエラム期・メソポタミアの金属工作の影響を反映している。

主に副葬品として回収されることが多く、初期鉄器時代の武器は日常生活だけでなく儀式的な用途にも用いられたと推測される。

寸法:おおよそL7cm x H4.3cm

来歴:ロンドン・コレクション出所、1990年から現在に至る編成。
