Ancient Canaanite Bronze Axe head C. 2nd millennium BC.

Rare type. This fenestred bronze Axe head is shaped in a crescent crescentic form with integral sockets. There is a reinforcing ridge at the center of the blade between the two openings, thereby making this blade a relation to the so called "duck bill" Axe heads. A very unique and rare example.

 

condition: amazing
