洛雷斯坦 青銅色 擴口斧頭
A Luristan cast bronze axe head featuring a paddle-shape with a long, narrow neck leading to a flat, hemispherical blade which tapers down into a fan shaped socketed element. The socket features a slightly everted rim with a central knob. Earthly encrustations and patination to the surface.
Luristan bronze comes from the province of Lorestan, a region situated in the area of modern South-Western Iran. Axe heads, such as this nice example, would have been used in everyday life but also buried together with the deceased.

Provenance: From a collection of arms and armour, Cologne, Germany 1990-2005
