This is a very unique copper alloy or bronze axe head. It is possibly Elamite in origin. It appears to be an early piece based on the reddish brown patina that is typical of high copper content pieces. It does appear to have been cleaned at some point. The socket is rectangular. There is a perforation on either side of the socket for attachment to the shaft pole. There is also a perforation in the rear blade which may or may not be original to the piece. It weighs 170 grams and measures 15.5 cm ...click for details

This is another in a series of interesting ancient bronze axes recently acquired from a private collection. It has a deep red patina typically associated with early, high copper content tools and weapons. It is very solid and stable with only minor losses to the surface. Axes of this type are often associated with Amlash or Luristan cultures but this one has some interesting features not found on most. The edges and points are very square and the vertical blade has a groove all along the top edg ...click for details

This is another fine ancient bronze axe from Northern Iran. I have listed a number of these from a private collection this week. This piece is is superb condition with very thin, flared blades. Between the top edges of the vertical blade is a small depression. The socket has minor losses on one side but otherwise this is a marvelous example of an interesting type. The rest of the piece is complete, solid and stable. It would be a fine addition to any ancient weapon collection. It weighs 332 gram ...click for details

This is an interesting variation of an ancient bronze axe from northern Iran. This style is generally attributed to either the Amlash or Luristan cultures. This particular piece has narrower blades than most and the vertical blade has raised ridges that form a V-shaped depression both above and below - a feature not common to these types. This piece weighs 492 grms and measures roughly 16 cm across.

This is a very special offering of a small bronze axe from ancient Iran (circa 1200-1500 BC). It has minor losses to the horizontal blade and shows some pitting. These small axes seem to be a good bit more rare than their larger counterparts. This came as part of a large private collection and as a result I can offer it at much less than what these pieces usually sell for. I doubt that this one will be here for very long. It weighs 108 grams and measures just 9 cm in length.
