Bronze Age Axe Head

An ancient socketed bronze axe head, displaying the green verdigris patina characteristic of artifacts buried for millennia. Dating to the Late Bronze Age (circa 1200 BC), this tool and weapon would have been hafted onto a wooden handle. The casting seams are still visible, and the loop on the side was used to secure the head to the haft with cord. Found in Central Europe, it represents a key technological leap in human history. A fascinating and affordable piece of ancient history that fits in the palm of your hand.
